Description
Based on a photograph I saw whose lighting interested me so as a technical exercise I thought I'd try to reproduce it. The image uses only 1 distant light for the sun and the rest is a mixture of indirect light and skylight.
P.S.
I thought of changing her expression but seeing as it took almost 30 hours to render my enthusiasm for the experiment has dropped somewhat so I doubt I'll do it over.

HI mgatch, Scene is well composed and draws the eye in, but the lighting is just so realistic and natural. Perfect! Before I read your PS, I was wondering about the rendering time, hope you had an extra computer to use in the meantime. It was worth it.
Fabulous work!
Very good work. Realistic setting and your model works perfect in it!
awesom carrara render
Actually I don't mind her expression - it may be sudden interest in the person who just walked into the dive to maybe take the boredom out of her day - and of course idleness is the devil's workshop, right? Great scene - I very much like the lighting you've created in it.
Man that is awesome. 30 hours though. That's why I still hate all the GI programs. But this is really gorgeous. I'd like to get into that image and relieve her of her boredom
Great work! It shows off how well Carrara handles indirect lighting.
She is Very Pretty and I like the look of a question on her face!!!
Great GI, at 30 hours .. I feel your pain. Fantastic image!!!
The lighting is amazing. Excellent stuff.
Great composition and use of light. *****
Looks familiar. I think I drank a beer at this place once... Great image!
Very realistic render. Great job!
