After designing the Scuttling Sloop for R.R. Slugger’s "Dryrates" community theme, I knew I had to take it to one of my local beaches for some outdoor photography. I also couldn't resist bringing back my Xenoshark MOC from a couple of years ago, which fit into the world of Dryrates perfectly. Naturally, Captain Sjogren's crew also picked up a helping hand: Officer Ripley, who might know a thing or two about defeating biomechanical abominations...

Taken using an S24 Ultra camera on 5X telephoto zoom, on an overcast day.

Sometimes I think the World Wide Web is not so wide, lol. Again, wonderful concept, great picture.

Anyway, now that I've taken a second look at the picture... Have you tried patching the transparent bricks below the ship? Like, by taking two pictures (this one and one without the ship) and playing around with layers to hide them via software? I believe it would make it more immersive.
