Let me have it.

2099?.... more like 1999! Kidding, although I agree with your subject line....

Funny.

Thanks guys!

My apologies for the unconstructive criticism, I agree with blowback; it's up to you to inflict a sense of awe in a design that doesn't do it on it's own. Perhaps a closer shot with a lower eye level? Additionally, the only readily notable thing about the design is that there's lots of glass, so it might be best to exploit that with a worm's eye view that shows a really dramatic sky being reflected by the building? I'm sure other members would disagree, and claim that it draws attention from the design, but once again, the design doesn't give you much to work with.

Good ideas. Maybe i'll give an hdri a try.

I need to do some photoshop work but is this a better view and with hdri in place?

[innerdream]

One more pass.

That can't really be all there is to it. There's no detail at all! There could at least be some more contrast in the reflections...

 

You can't polish a turd but maybe "make a boring building look good" can be an interesting challenge.

[blowback]

I don't want to sound mean but It looks like you are not even trying on this.

 

Move the camera closer. Saturate the sky and increase the reflections, photoshop some more sky,or have the buildings interior lighting play a role.

Arrange the cars.....come on.

[innerdream]

Okay you guys are right, I haven't been trying.

 

I'll take some time and try and add interest as suggested. My tail is between my legs...

New hdri and camera angle.

You can't polish one but you can varnish a dry one, so I would definately get my brush out with this!
