Not getting anything worth using at the mnoment, a grass runway/airfierld in this. Demonstrates the need to caefully consider textures and colours used with even slightly reflective surfaces as the codes have 'vanished' here. You can sort of see them if you squint a bit.

I like the background image and the ground and the way you got them to blend together. I have not been able to get things to blend that good. Where did you get the background image? What texture/material did you use for the ground? My problem might also be my camera angle.

I like the render. :^: Fletch always seems to come up with good suggestions. :-)

That image has a simple flat plane and a jpg version of the hdri, rotated to match the hdri so 0 degrees here.

I have used an infinite plane (Extensions - Twilight render - Objects - Infinite plane) with the next render painted with a simple colour, Alice blue in this case. Colour is then linked to the texture via the texture/finish dialogue box in Twilight. Not perfect as there is still a straight line visible in the hdri/infinite plane but meh.
