Excellent. a true masterpiece. I think the ship doesn't need any sailors on it. It would look much more peacefull without them. I agree about the water. It's to repetitive. I don't know if scaling down will make it look much better, maybe adding some variation to the bumpmap in the DTE and a slightly lower bump-setting would help more. There's something about a few parts of the models that doesn't seem right. The chimneys and some of the roofs look like they are oversmoothed. If the houses are imported meshes you should try setting the smoothing lower then 90 degrees (preferably 89 degrees). It's very subtle, but being a perfectionist I noticed it immediately.
