I like this image the most of all. The texturing and modeling is of a lower quality than the other two images, but all in all the wagon blends in the scene the best. The foreground is composited nicely against the background and even though it is clear that the image is computer generated, the whole setup tells a story, is believable and creates the best first impression for me.

This model has been built and uv-mapped such that it reminds one of game object design. The detail around the front axle and bars is nicely done. Also the centers of the wheels have nice detail and dimension to the modeling. In terms of modeling this model has the best level of realism. The texture use on the cloth can do with less bump/ normal and could be stained to heighten the effect of realism. The poor/ quick application of the wood texture brings down the perceived value of the final render, especially on the wheels.Nice lanterns, though.

The level of detail on this model is great. The texturing is realistic and the lighting allows for the model to blend into the background image. The thing that somewhat destroys the level of realism is the amount of blur on the foreground object. It seems that the image is blurred just a little too much/ is too out of focus for visual comfort. In addition, it is very bothersome that the wheels closest to the viewer doesn't seem to rest on the ground.
