Pretty solid details for a first piece. I will have to agree with skeddles, though; the colors are a little oversaturated, mostly the wooden paneling, which almost stands out more than the picture painted on it. The waves look great, with excellent shading and use of dithering, and I like the details on the frame; I just feel like the non-water colors could be toned down a bit more to strengthen the viewer's focus.
