Nice one 😊
Think it might be a nice idea to add screws in the corners, it'll add to the surrealism.
Another tip: the left side of the island is floating off the square, that should be an easy fix.

I see a perspective issue, the shot of the island is almost head on, but in your image we are looking down on it.

retired replied to Hero :

when you integrate images, think about the view angle and try to match the angle ( horizon lines ) it doesn't have to be exact, but if it's too far the image will not look right.

retired replied to Hero :

if you angle the island and reflection to match the back part of the box, it will look better, ( I believe ).

Nice concept. I would like to say one thing though. Some of your layers don't lined especially on the corners and edges. If you zoom in close you will see what I mean. Nice work though.
