To be perfectly frank, that water doesn't look hand pixelled. Mind showing the ref?

That water is beautiful. I didn't realise that it was tiled!

Seconded about using that piece by jal as a reference, as well as photographs.

I don't understand the loop things on the side of the boat, are they meant to be ropes? Try cleaning your lines, and block out shades and things. In this piece, I don't think that having a tall canvas is as interesting as in some of your others. Perhaps try longer horizontally?

Here's an edit, I thought you needed a lighter blue to show surf breaking against the ship.

You are improving a lot :D

Somehow the masts don't look tall enough. Maybe they look set too far back in the boat. Maybe it's just the front one. Hard to say.

Nice peice though!

I think the perspective is off with the front of the ship. I made an edit moving the ridge line and the bowsprit.

And like my other comment...maybe not tall enough...or to much weight on top. Or something like that. lol
