I agree with that. Sure we could have seen more details (an this image is
full of beutiful details) if the image was larger. That was something that
ranked down this image, I believe.

The modelling is impressive. Not only in the car but in everything.
I cannot find anything wrong. Also with textures.
Talking about the light, as Christopher said those lightblubs are too dim
and
could no illuminate the scene, though you can see their effect clearly.
They should be brighter.

Well, I think the sky is right, and the wall it's perhaps too uniform, but
fits
OK in the image. Also, IMO, it would have supposed a lot of extra work
to do a different background, cause it would have needed to be as detailed
as the rest of the image to fit.

Don't know if the use of those C4D tools have been a good idea (I haven't
seen the image without the use of those tools). What I mean is that they
give
the image a 2D look. A more 3D look would have been better (IMO)

The guy behind the wheel is great (he's modelled and textured by the Lexx,
and shows he's a very good 3D artist).
A great image.
