I prefer the one without the DOF, colour grading the render might give it a stylistic film look.

Interesting idea Saurav.  I don't really know anything about colour grading, but here is my hacked film look attempt.

Cool.  Now you're posting photos.   :P  Wha...?
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Looks great with the grading, funny enough that was a similar look I was thinking for the render. ;D

Awesome work Ryan!

Here is my final update for this image.  The first time I messed with the colours I was just playing around with my previous compressed image and it introduced a lot of gradients and compression artifacts.  This time I went right back to the .exr and started from scratch.  I also played around with adding a stained and weathered border which I don't usually bother with, but I think I am going to get this one printed to see how it looks.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, It is most certainly appreciated.

The image is too big to post here without adding too much jpg compression so you can find it here:

awesome. Done in a spirit of exploration, I couldn't help but add a little light bloom: the sky back there is so bright
and overexposed, the light would bleed into the darks. This can be simulated fairly convincingly by pulling a luminance mask, doing an "in" with the image in that mask,
then blurring that, than doing an "out" of that result and overing or screening it back on. If you blur too much, you start wrecking the scale. What really helps seal the deal,
if you have it available, is to mult the result of the previous procedure by a facing ratio render of your object, so that surfaces that are facing camera "block" more light bleeding, and surfaces that are approaching parallel to camera let more light bleed through. This was just a 1 minute quickie in photoshop, as I don't have a compositing package at home... fwiw...

Fantastic tarmac texture, and the clouds are lovely too. Maybe the tarmac is something you could sell via NWDA??
