What do you think??
Looks like a drone! Pretty clean. Did you model it too, or just the rendering?
just rendering in this case Will! Thanks!

Cool! I like the camera area. Some nice reflections in there. :)
I've got a P4 Pro and now I think I should paint it black. Nice! Wonder if a bit higher camera angle would make this more dramatic–and/or a slightly wider angle lens. Just a thought.
I like the idea and irony of an aerial view of a drone... my humor is incredibly dry. I'd really encourage you to find a creative commons image of aerial footage (a favorite of mine is unsplash.com) and try to render this same drone with a sun/sky HDRI and that image mapped onto the ground plane. You can then have a drone shot of a drone shooting the ground... kind of like ... inception? :o
Thanks for your advices guys, i will try to find that result.

Will, this is what I get, what do you think?
Hey! Not bad. I think the black version would have suited you better here since the white gets a bit blown-out making it hard to read the form in some areas. Also, I think a shot where you're looking down on the drone a bit more could be cool (since that's not a common image... I just tried searching it in Google and couldn't find many results). I think some slight motion blur on the entire drone (similar to what you have on the propellers) would help. Also, if you're getting blown-out materials... you can turn down the brightness on that HDRI (did you end up using Sun & Sky HDRI?)
I like where this is going.

Okey Will, I have tried to solve all the problems. I added motion blur to the whole drone, I changed the color and I modified the material by adding gloss and finally I changed the perspective. Now is more aggressive.
Awesome! Looking nice! The last thing I might suggest is increase the brightness of the background a tad and reduce the saturation a little bit. If you search helicopter flying, you'll see that the background is almost always has less contrast and is brighter due to atmospheric perspective. That should help your drone stand out from the background. I hope that helps.
This is a great shot. Will has a good point on the brightness, and at the same time, if I was putting this on a website, I might desaturate or vignette the background to draw the eye to the product more. Really depends on the application, but I think this looks GREAT!
