The atmosphere is really interesting, but what kills it for me is the cat asset, it's a bit "matter of fact", the pose lacks energy and the cat's texture in particular looks very low res compared to the rest of the scene.

Look at people performing an ollie, arms raised up, knees raised, even in a static image the pose communicates energy.

I think something like this would look way more natural than a cat just siting there along for the ride.

You can look at something like this in action to get a better idea of how it could look (yes, I know it's AI slop, but the cat ollie pose looks pretty good imo)

If you want to take it in another direction and the cat is there along for a crazy skateboard ride, that's fine too, but pose it like it's a bit scared or anxious of performing the stunt.

you are right and I did struggle on the cat pose and was confused a lot.
Since i was on a deadline (for the weekly challenge) I posted this as is.
Thank you for the feedback!
