what sort of help are u looking for with the boat?... its still pretty raw, but looks nice.... the perspective looks fine to me... should be a good starting point... just start refining |

| 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 http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=galleon&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi - 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
