The golden texture is gorgeous. The ground plane has a couple of 
problems imho: It needs a bit of "structure" while its reflectiveness is 
so high it makes the dragon almost floating in space instead of reposing 
on a solid surface. I would suggest using a discrete micro-normal 
combined with a bit less reflectiveness. Maybe an area_light for softer 
shadows?
