Dark submarine sailing across a moonlit, choppy ocean under a cloudy night sky.
A military submarine cruises through moonlit blue waters beneath a dramatic, cloud-covered night sky. The scene emphasizes stealth naval operations, with moonlight reflecting on the waves and the vessel silhouetted against the horizon, creating a tense, cinematic mood.

A military submarine surfaces and steams through choppy greenish waters under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The gray hull cuts through the waves, leaving a bright wake, conveying a tense naval scene with a focus on realism and engineering detail.

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.

You moonlit finished image looks amazing. Well done, you clearly have skills beyond clicking generate
