Description
This is the first image I've ever uploaded for critique here so please be gentle! All work carried out in Cinema v8.1 with a little colour tweaking applied in Photoshop for good measure.
Any comments welcome, good or bad.

The car is good. The road needs work. A little more random dirt. The yellow painted lines are little to perfectly jagged. It looks like wet paint brushed on, instead of worn. Try placing a black and white cloud texture in alpha on top of the road texture. It may help with the worn look. Other wise the lighting is good. The tree is a little thick in the amount of branches. I like the detail of the leaves on the ground. I would give them a more random green, yellow and brown texture. It may add another layer of reality to your image.

Did you model the car or only render the image? The car modeling looks excellent. I believe if it were places in a real photo you would fool the eye into believing it was real. The only critique on the car is the "greyish" color of the windows. Something doesn't feel right about it. To make the road material look more realistic you might want to shrink the size of the texture(the dots look to big). If this is your first upload I can't wait to see more of you work. Keep up the good work.

For a first post this is excellent. I can find no fault with the car, aside from the aforementioned windows that digitaldali brought up. A bit more diffusion to the color channel would do wonders for that. Shrinking the texture of the asphalt would make it look much better. The bump on the sidewalk looks a little strong, like it would be sharp to walk on. Other than that keep up the incredible work :D

The other comments were good, also some other details to consider- The rims are a bit bright. The weeds in the sidewalk gap are a bit dark and they are a bit to perfectly clumped. More randow dispersion and size difference. The sidewalk needs something, its too "milky" kinda like ice cram, I wouldn't know what to recommend, the texture on the curb is a bit too strong as well. So far it looks really good, I like the perspective and attention to detail is on its way. Keep at it!

The modelling here is superb; the areas for you to improve are subtlties like scale (the curb is way too big), and lighting (needs a bit more power to give some true hilights and indicate a source direction). But, that is where the fun is, right? Very nice work!

very natural lighting - excellent light settings! very realistic. looks like a photo of some children toy-city: roads, trees, cars. well, the car looks more like a real car rather than a toy-car. great job!

Very well done indeed.
