This is very cool and I love what you did with the water. A couple of things come to my eye though. The flag needs 'posing', it looks as if there is no wind to make it fly when it is obvious that there is plenty of wind. And if I was to be really be picky, I would have called this 'Heavy Seas', but it is your work. ;-)

Beautiful work!

Thanks Bryster, Point taken, I'll keep a closer look at detail in the future :)

I love the blue tones. This has the makings of a truly superb image. It is the small things that could be tweaked as Bryster said. The birds are scaled a little large for my liking. Again I know how difficult it is to create realistic scenes for models under full sail. This is a great start. Keep it up.

Wow, this is really well put together, I especially like the tones of blue throughout.

Okay... the one biggest mistake I see... in a sea of this size, able to toss a 2000+ ton, 100 gun, 3 decker like a toy, you have too many sails set for the wrong weather conditions. All main sails, plus out-board studdingsails (pronounced, stun's'l's) set as pictured here would actually be set for little or no wind conditions, almost becalmed... all sails set to try to capture any light winds or breezes to maintain steereway... In major seas, or a storm swell like this, a MINIMUM of sails would be set, usually a top-sail on each mast, plus the Spanker or "Gaff" sail on the last mast aft, or Mizzenmast, and one Jib-sail up forward of the Foremast on the Bowsprit... any more sails set and the captain would risk "tearing the sticks out of her" (dismasting the ship), and possibly foundering (sinking) the ship. If the captain set this many sails on his ship's masts during a storm of this size, he was an idiot, and every sailor on the ship would know it and start praying he survived when the ship sank.... Oh, also, where is the seaspray that would be cascading down the ship's side as she dipped and rose into and out of the swells. In a sea this size, the bow would constantly be smashing through the waves and water would be spraying everywhere....

FitArtistSF, I appreciate your intense knowledge of sailing. But being female I do not know these things and did it as a piece of artwork not as historical and real life referrence. Thanks for your imput. :)
