Wow, I love the perspective and sense of motion. The "speed lines" are subtle and do their job well, giving us a sense of speed with falling back on cartoonishness. The "new car" texture on the sky car is great. It suggests an alternate title: "First Scratch". I think that having the traffic and city closer could have lent a little more drama and sense of a metropolitan environ.

I love the action backed up by the people in the car returning focus to the FG. The BG and sky traffic are in good balance to keep who is important in focus. Good idea sticking the little guy up front, a freebie I never took advantage of. I also like the caption that goes with it. BTW, thanks for the comments.

"I can empathize with that air/raft driver shaking her fist; those grav bikes are a menace and should be banned on all civilized worlds." Dramatic action; only the bike driver's hands betray this as a render. The perspective and sense of motion are spectacular.
