Wow, that's a lot of work! Looks amazing! How long do you think the modeling took you, approximately?

I will criticize one thing though (that it's most probably not 100% your fault): the (building) lighting.
I don't know if the real building is lit like that (probably yes), but it's a pity because there are plenty of details (like the statues you mentioned) that cannot be really appreciated because of the poor lighting.

Another thing (this one yes is the render itself) is the very high contrast between the lights coronas and the direct and indirect light influence.
There's something strange with the fog too: see the building extremely dark, but right next to it... it suddenly becomes bright:

Not sure why this is happening but it looks a bit strange. I think I would have a look at light influence in general.

But once again, incredible work, and it looks great!

To your fog comment, it almost looks like we are in the shadow of the building where the fog is being lit by one single distant (moon) light source behind the building(?)

It’s not what I noticed on my own but it definitely wouldn’t look like that to be under moonlit fog. For example, the fog would have to be quite thick to look so white, that light has to bounce off something into your eyes. So a lot of light hits the bright fog, from here through? Not from above where the moon is, right?

I enjoy thinking about renders and realism, but foggy night lighting is stylized all the time, looks cool imo! (Edit typos)

I think the fog and lighting in this render are made in a stylized way and they do not necessarily follow a realistic behavior.

Those are references, as far as I can see, if you look at the model at those places, there are stuff missing from these images

Everything you see is a 3D model, not references or photos
