Not quite photorealistic.....
I agree with the other comments -- source pics would be nice. Also, the final images have the rivets overlapping the 'underlying aluminium layer' which they shouldn't do -- need to paint the rivets back in. Use of advanced layer blending to partially reveal underlayers would be nice too.
