I agree with pretty much everything that's gone before, so I won't bother retyping it

A very clean well executed chop that looks awesome basically
The only slight issue I have is that the paint donor/reference, backdrop and rims are all from the same image - you should try to avoid this and mix and match - it presents more of a challenge, and that way isn't so obviously 'ripping off' the photographer, as you are creating something totally new and unique
But nice work, keep up this high standard
