Agreed!! Welcome bestboy! In order to get better results with maxwell you might want to consider leaving the renders for a longer time... My suggestion is leave time at 7200min so that it has a lot of time to render, and just limit the sampling level. Say... 17-18?

Congrats on your first pic. Im a newb myself

he means that you should just set the time very high, and just stop the render when it looks fine. Although a better way is just to render in parts and resume the previous render. Look in the docs to find out how to do that. What it does is add to a render. Say you rendered an image for 30min, and you would like to add another 30min, you can restart it and it will continue from where it left off, so you get in total 60min of render time.
