Nice atmosphere giving good depth to a very well done scene.

Nice image - I think it could be improved if all the ships in the backgroung were not identical. A little variation here would make this perfect

Yeah, very nice. You simply need to rotate the ships in the background individually just a little bit. In reallity these ships would have been indeed from same type. so they really would look very similar. Great progress!

I agree with Ricki01, there needs to be some differences in the fleet coming into port. This could be achieved by varing the amount of sails each vessel has shown, remember they are coming into port and so reducing sail. Actually, Wabe, a fleet from this period would have only 1 or 2 of the largest vessels, known as a First Rates with 3 full decks of guns. These were the command vessels with an Admiral aboard in command of the fleet. The other vessels would primarily be 74s (2 full decks of guns and such, known as Second Rates), frigates (known as the "eyes of the fleet", to recon the seas around the fleet and gather intelligence for the Admiral) and other smaller ships (sloops, brigs, schooners, cutters, etc.) for supplying the fleet and ship-to-ship communications. Another discrepency I see in this render, is that the 2 First Rates already in port would not have been tied to the piers. Their drafts (the hull from the waterline to the keel) would have been too deep to get in this close in harbor to tie up. They would have anchored out further in the harbor for 2 reasons, the first I just mentioned, and the biggest reason was to make sure that the crew would not desert. This was a big problem, since 70 percent of the entire Royal Navy (I say Royal Navy because the flags flying on the 2 ported ships are British) was forcibly pressed. (conscripted against their will) Contact with the shore would have been by ships' boats and harbor craft. Study some of the realistic paintings/artwork done of this type of scene and you will be a little more accurate.
