It's always the little details that make these images impressive ... anyone can just cut and paste an object into an image and it doesn't look real

But add in details like lighting, shadows, smoke, mist, water, reflections ... and you make all those shadows and reflections plausible and at the appropriate angles ... very subtle additions and it makes it very convincing.

I like the last one the most, it looks very real. Fooled my eyes at first glance.

It's amazing how many details you don't see until they colorize the photo. Great restoration, OP! How did you make sure the hues are accurate?
