Some of the best seascape work I've seen using Hankster's brilliant model; the boost to Environment Lighting in 14C really makes those sails pop.

WOW! Excellent work.

No. 3 has a real sense of drama, it looks like it wants to move.

In total contrast the lighting and view point in No. 2 are a perfect reproduction of a million drab, uninspired marine paintings. The kind that lurk in the back of dusty antique shops for years. No disrespect to you, you have captured the type perfectly.

thumbs up for especially the last image!!!

Excellent work, Jim!
There's something about the water, the waves and the foam that still doesn't look right. I have no solid suggestions, though, as to how to improve these aspects :-(
Regardless of that, it's a very beautiful render!

Cheers,
Frank

Couldn't you use the white layer that is the foam as a blending shader for a cloud layer that is tweaked for foam??

Absolutely gorgeous, I love the shadowing on The Chase.

Mohawk's suggestion sounds really interesting. I'd like to see that.

It's an interesting notion and probably could be set up for a still image, but I'm really looking to make this animate and can't really see clouds working for that. If I get time I'll try it out. Thanks.
