My first development job was at an Architecture studio funded by the LA Community College District. The Architecture interns there were allowed a lot of artistic license as they used the renderings in their portfolios.
Usually the renderings mimic "magic hour"[1] lighting conditions and are taken from the best vantage point. Being a talented bunch, sometimes their embellishments ended up in the final work and looked great... and somethings not. Sometimes their renderings ignored the actual position of the sun in order to make it look better at the vantage point the picture was "taken", since the CAD software would add lens flare and glare. Sometimes a rendering has one time of plant or another simply due to the whims of the intern or because of what was available in the asset library (i.e. Coconut or Palm Trees instead of Magnolia tress).
