Super image Pierre! I am a bit of a history buff myself, especially the years between 1066 to the mid 1800's. What about some more!

Oops, HMS Victory was not at The Battle of the Nile. Also, you have Victory flying a French flag. (There was only one 3 decker at the battle, the French flagship, L'Orient, with 120 guns. Nelson was in the HMS Vanguard, 74 guns.) The center 3 decker is too small, it would be the same size as the others. The French position in Aboukir Bay had the ships anchored parallel to the shore. Nelsons thirteen 74 gun ships and one 50 gun vessel were in theory outnumbered by Brueys 120 gun flagship, three 80 gun ships and nine 74s plus four frigates. But five British ships led by Captain Thomas Foley in HMS Goliath passed between the leading French vessel and the shallow waters to engage the enemy from the landward side. This changed the battle in favor of the British. Okay, enough history. You have all the elements of a great picture. Great smoke and fire effects, with some damage to the sails, which is good. I like the sky and water. But it's just the historical inaccuracies that jump out to me, sorry. Other than that, a very ambitious render. Very good.
