A nice patriotic render for people.
This is a composite image, the eagle was created within Poser, then imported across to Vue where it was rendered against a sky also created inside Vue.

Many many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting James A Moore, his wife Bonnie, and his sister Ro, at Dragon*Con.
Jim is one of those authors that reaches down into the pit of your guts and makes them whimper quietly in a corner, and in gratitude for him holding my hand as it were over the years at conventions (a scary ordeal that goes way beyond anything even Jim could write), I came up with this image of one of Jim’s most feared and loved nasties – Rufo the clown.

OK, I’ll admit it, although I don’t like car renders per se, there’s just something about the Batman Begins/Dark Knight Tumbler version of the Batmobile that gets to me.
Background, terrain, and lighting setup is mine. Tumbler is a Lightwave model imported from SciFi 3D.
Rendered in Vue.
