Photoreal CGI Boat Poster

I have a high-resolution photograph of a boat that I want to transform into a hero-style poster that feels fully CGI/rendered while still remaining photorealistic. The existing background must stay exactly as it appears in the photo; the magic happens in how you treat the vessel itself—textures, reflections, lighting and subtle compositing tweaks that make viewers think it was built in a 3D package rather than shot with a camera. The background can be improved, but needs to be ocean and show the boat in use. Keep markings and proportions accurate (NSW Police livery intact).

Please show me a few examples of past work where you have taken real-world images and elevated them to a rendered or hyper-real finish. I’m particularly interested in seeing believable material work, controlled color grading and any before/after comparisons you’re comfortable sharing.

Deliverables:
• Final image in layered PSD (or TIFF) at the photo’s original resolution
• Flattened, print-ready version in CMYK and RGB
• Provide 2 styles: (A) photoreal-CGI, (B) slightly stylised/graphic.
• The post will be 3000 x 3000mm

If any questions come up about color palette, atmosphere or minor background clean-ups, feel free to ask before you dive in so we keep the original scene intact.
