"Chasing the Flying Nautilus City" - City in the Sky Challenge - CG Boost

Hi guys! This is my first post here and my first entry for a CG boost Challenge. I’m searching serious feedback about ways to improve the image. I made all the meshes and the textures of Nautilus, Rider and Cuttlefish bike. The sky is from Noah Bradley Sky reference pack, and the ocean, rocks, and sand materials from Blender Kit Plug in.

Rendered on Cycles 3500 samples and composited on Photoshop using a EXR-IO plugin.

First composition test:

Final:

I hope you like it.
Regards!

Welcome :tada:,
wjhaowwhh… i almost like the angled version a bit more… more epic… but also the different city-ratio as you did in the others do fit… maybe the smaller could have some slighty variations… because it’s “just scalled” ??
… and maye the course / route should be… hmmm… abit more crossing?? now they are all only left to right… the chaser maybe more towards the city…? now it more an escort.
Anyway: :scream: …epic…
