hate to crit something so pro.., but the reflection on the bonnet is too over done.., a little opacity (of some sort??) there would do the trick.., it looks painted on

meaning?? are you simply stating thats what it is?? or does because it is a master collection.., that adds weight to it?? just wondering user added image

is it a test render for a new renderer.., i was wondering where and how it was rendered??

i still think the reflection is too strong.., no compositor would leave it like that.
