It looks alright, but the thing I noticed was the horizon, which sticks out loudly.
From the looks of it, it seems like an image was just placed beneath the render. While doing that is perfectly fine of course, the trees in the background makes the image look unnatural. Since only the tips of the trees stick out from under the snow, the illusion of a round Earth disappears.
Of course, the trees could fit if you imagine the image being a cliff or something similar, but I would at the very least see blurring the background as a positive.
I also think that the snow in the final image is too saturated in color, and appears too synthetic and glossy. The render before effects actually looks more realistic in my opinion, largely in-part from the snow and ice beneath.
Perhaps making the snow and ice more granulated would assist in making the render more realistic, or just turning down the reflectiveness of the ground.
The car model itself is actually pretty good, and I don’t see any critique in the reflections of the Corvette. The same goes with the Roblox character, since it looks more or less just like a regular user.
I think if we were to ignore all of the issues with the snow and background, one thing that would really make the render pop out is to match the coloring. The color of the sky reflects the overall color of what is seen on the ground. This is especially noticeable during sunset, when the landscape becomes more ‘warm’ looking. In your final image, the physical model does not reflect the sky which it sits behind, and that is why the background pops out so much. By rendering the image with a more pinkish lighting in place, the model would probably fit a lot more.
Adding depth in the camera would also help in making the image feel more life-like.
Overall, the render is alright for a first. There are definitely improvements to make on later images, but this render serves you well.

Just work on more to your render poses.
Ik it’s your first time.
But slowly you will practice it, keep it up.
The Lighting, Its actually supposed to be not so warm, Since its going the opposite way of the sun.
these are the original before I added my avatar into it. You can see on the first I really tried to add the sun’s reflection into the snow/ice and added some warmth to it.
But then you can see in the second picture its not so warm.
Again, this was a test to see if I could quickly make something close to life-like.

this isnt my first time, I’ve been working on GFX for 3 years 
.
It’s my first time trying to make a life-like render.
This only took me 45 minutes to make, I didn’t spend to much time on posing. I Mainly spent my time in the render properties and configuring shaders.
This was simply a test.
ouch…
This GFX looks very good! Nice job on it!

If there’s too much space, get rid of it. A simple crop with some camera effects can go a long way.
Now you have a cool looking banner that would look even better with just a bit more adjusting on the pose instead of an empty looking big image
