Was too late for the Moonlight entry but well. Took a screenshot of the simulation Silent Hunter V with the Wolves of Steel add-on, which was a daytime still and prompted NanoBanana to make it a moonlit night on the Atlantic. Then fiddled a little with the resulting image where it concerns sharpness, contrast, brightness, antialiasing et-cetera in Gimp. Quite pleased with the result though not too happy about the way NanoBanana renders/changes the sea. Do like the lighting effect though. 😊 Second photo is the actual in-game screenshot.
