Certainly going in the "favourite images" category for me. What a masterpiece indeed. Betwitching atmosphere of the full moon on gloomy seas. Your blending work is beyond flawless. I can almost feel the wet sand under my feet. I love the distant lanterns on the ship. One can imagine all the plotting going on amongst the crew inside.

This is as impressive as the rest of your naval pictures! Simply stunning. I especially like the intense and very skillfully used skies. And the naval scenes are also very atmospheric, detailed and realistic. Judged by that you must be the best sailor I ever heard of ;)
