I do similar kinds of work with 2011. A friend of mine builds outdoor gazebos and waterfalls for higher end residential sites. Here is a rendering I did recently for one of his jobs. I'm still not that good at marrying the rendering into the photo with Photoshop yet but I'm getting better with more practice. It's still an amazing thing to see how something will look before it get's built, indeed before the first shovel of dirt ever flies.
