World War 1 Scene, rough

Im going to be graduating soon from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics. I am making a World War 1 scene to be the main shot in my demo reel and I am looking for feedback and suggestions. It still has a ways to go.

The lighting on the tank is a low quality render because i haven’t finalized the texture on the tank, i am trying for a more “beat up” look
There are still several elements missing, such as explosion craters in the ground, barbed wire, blown out trees, biplanes in the distance with anti aircraft fire, as well as a more animated sky.

The fence on the right side of the screen will be removed.

Some Of My Tests

my first matte painting

this is a WIP of a matte painting for my short film for school, please note that i am in no way a photoshop expert nor a painter, and i would like some advice as to how to blend the futuristic buildings better as i think they are not bad but not quite there yet either. here is the before and after pic:
