And a brilliant result Ken. Not to forget that. Superb light and so much going on, excellent (as always).

scrolling down the page my eye caught a glimpse of the ship and i JUST KNEW IT WAS YOUR PERFECT magic at work again... this entire scene is so brilliant.. wonderful lighting and atmosphere!! ...WOW BIG VOTE!! ♥

WOW! I just can't get over all the detail in this, Ken! It's beautiful!! v

i like this more than the first version. excellent

Incredibly detailed and wonderfully mysterious mood; I was going to say I want to be there, but I'd probably get press-ganged onto that ship.

Excellent composition. Nice atmosphere and lighting. Great arrangement of characters and objects. Vote.

Way better now that we can see the detail - superb work. Your texturing work on this is magnificent, not to mention the modeling - VOTE!!

Excellent lighting.

OMG! this looks like in the movies, fantastik job on those details.

Another beauty!

Looks very good Ken. After looking over the first render, I did have reservations about the Victory model in the background. Once launched, a ship that size would not normally have been that close inshore, except to be repaired in drydock. Most ports would not be that deep close in, requiring a ship that large to anchor out in the bay. The smaller ship works better, I think. The birds on the left, in amongst the rigging are still very hard to see. Consider removing them. The flock on the right is okay, balances that area. The lighting is still not right. A cloudy day does not create such deep contrasting shadows, but diffuses the light lighting the entire scene. There are shadow areas, but not to this degree. The kind of lighting you need is a cloudless blue-sky day, which would match the shadows you have now. This is still a great image, I like the "ladies of the evening" hanging on the docks, or "doxies" (yes, that's where the term came from...). I think you should add some sailors leaning on the rails of the ship, the ship's watch, viewing the dock, and a sailor or two working aloft in the rigging, the ships look too empty without a few sailors in them.

Great scene Ken, well done!

Truly striking scene, Ken. Fantastic work!!

Outstanding as usual Ken! very well done my friend.

Looks even more magnificent!!! Fantastic achievement Ken. Bravo!

Wow, this is just fantastic! Really captures the mood of the waterfront while still maintaining a very artistic look and view. A fine creative work and one of my favs. A vote is a small token for such a super achievement.:o) CC

Beautiful! Definitely love this version even more than the previous one! Now the scene is alive with the new light setting! ^^
