Recent exterior K3.035 no denoiser, no post, raw render

nice !,

Why is your lavender fuzzy?

I noticed that too, is denoiser effect. Is of course hard for the denoiser to know exactly what to smooth and what not. As it is now it's indeed not very usefull for exteriors with shrubs, bushes, flowers etc. Have to wait for some improvements on that. I also heard G. would have second denoiser engine. So good hope things will get better with future updates.
You also see the undesired effect on seams in front door they get blurred and partly disappear as well.
At the moment I render with and without denoiser and photoshop out the parts that get too blurry.

Final image, slight brick adjustment and Post + Nik filter Photoshop.

Now looks great

So the sky and birds have greatly improved the effect.
