The image seems a little small to permit the grand scope of what you set out to do. However, the stars and tori swept across the background do give off the impression of majesty. The boat, however, is poorly textured, starting from the actual wood of the hull, and continuing with the ropes (which seem to go off at right angles in a couple of places), and finishing off with very little depth of field when it comes to the entrance into the ship (the black. a negative bolean might solve it). Also, I'm not sure if you meant for the sails to be transparent, but it certainly comes off as poor, especially since they seem to reflect rather than 'transpare'. The idea is great, it seems like you have the beginnings of a great piece of work, what you need to concentrate on is: 1. textures. find good wooden ones at www.animax.it. also be sure to scale them. 2. depth. either forget the little entrance alltogether or negative bolean it 3. reflections and transparencies. find a good cloth texture (even the simple gray might work if the lighting is proper) 4. field of view. take away from the ship and concentrate on the beautiful view outside. after all, it's the stuff dreams are made of. 5. 'animate' it. an unmanned wheel (or whatever the thing you steer ships with is called) perhaps might be better than the little entrance, therefore giving even more away on the idea of dreams and how we never tend to follow up on them :) hope this helps, and that i didn't come off as too critical. best of luck!
