It all starts with a scene

I've had my eye on this set for some time now( https://www.daz3d.com/easy-snap-universal-sea-habitat ), and it's sat patiently in my wish-list waiting for me to decide to buy it.
Last week, it was 85% off in one of the site's commendably frequent special offers, and I decided to finally pick it up.
What you're looking at is the initial concept render for the set and lighting. The habitat domes have been re-textured, partly to make subsequent renders easier to do, and I've messed around with the lighting a lot- using emissives turned up quite high for the external lights. At some point, I'm going to need to do some post-work, to get a more under-water feel to the scene.
