@swikni Of course this is the Eevee week! Lol no worries, I appreciate that you did it anyway with Cycles. If you want to do Eevee you could do week 3 with Eevee instead of Cycles.
Your car turned out very good indeed. The HDRI you chose is working really well with the car paint reflection.And I like the cloudy plastic on your headlight. It contributes to the old junky car feel. The only negative about the render is the background and floor. As you said, you might want to do something extra with those. Not that your current setup is that negative, after all the focus of the image is the vehicle first and foremost. But they don’t contribute to the image at all when they could. Still it’s a B+ for that half of the homework.
I don’t have much to say for your light match other than, “you nailed it!” It looks super similar. Fantastic light-detective work 👍 A from me.
