Real or Rendered?

Picture is too low quality to tell. My first guess would be rendered but there is really no way to tell with that pic.
 
If that sky is rendered it's pretty nice. I'd like to see more backrounds in games look that good. Maybe the games already out are that good, but my computer can't run them.
 
😕 it could be real, what makes ya'll so confident it's rendered? For those that have ever been boating know that it is entirly possible to find water without waves (or very close to) it's like skiing on glass 🙂
 
edit.nm
you do need a larger pic though

I can see that the water is rendered, but the sky does look quite real,

I believe the sky, water and background are real with the jagged rock and it's shadow being superimposed.


close, the shadow is real, but the rock was rendered.
 
real
it has a photographic feel to it.
The hazy background, the sky is definitely real.
THe rock has a lot of detail in it, and it doesn't look like tiled textures either.
 
I am thinking rendered from the calmness of the water, but i have seen something like this while watching behind the scenes footage. They talked about waiting for a very small band of time where the water in the lake would totally be still in the movie Hero.
