Your picture does not support your point well at all. The cliff face texture is blurry, the bush on the right is growing very unnaturally and the water shows no signs of splashing and appears to end abruptly lower left

Probably to the trained eye, but not to the untrained eye that isnt looking for flaws. Obviously the artistic direction is still constrained by the fact that its still a game. Naughty Dog wants make you feel a certain way while climbing with unbelievable moments and this takes unnatural rock formation, but were getting there for sure. As I said, were nearing closer, which doesnt assume were there yet.

You dont need to be trained to know how rocks look and how nature behaves. You are failing to make your point at all.  I think that picture looks average poor version of reality.
