The last image looks quite well. Can we see some wireframe/breakdown?
The Empire State in the background looks flat and inconsistent in sharpness and perspective.

Hey, Pat Lau.
Let me just say "wow". Wow to the short film and to the "Two worlds commercial". Really inspiring.

I'm sorry to say so, but you're only making it worse.
