    I love a lot of the stuff you do but this looks at least 2 steps back from what delighted to see:
    All of the main shots in the church looks kinda flat and not natural at all; too much light and too much reflections going on there
    The side light is too strong and overall levels on the subject are just too high (even on the lateral dolly)
    Seems like you put a lot of effort on it - for sure - but the output looks kinda "cheap"
    Even the close up inside the cab is meh, considering it's a "built" set
