Composition is very good imho. Background sets the mood, but the light on deck is wrong. The clouds indicate it's lighter on the left and quite low, so the sun must be there, so that's where the light should be. Either change your whole light composition or just the backdrop ;)

Three things: The boats in the "harbour" should have steam/smoke clouds. I wouldn't think they're anchored out there, so they should be either waiting or passing, but "on steam".
The sack with the grain (or whatever) feels totally unrealitstic.
It is indicated that the ants are rather big, und must have quite a weight. If you'd care to adjusting their legs so the lower side is strutting and the higher side's legs are rather hanging, this would give the ants more weight and realism. I know, with common size ants this doesn't count, but yours here are big and nasty, and you want to show that, right? Oh yeah, make them a bit hairy too ;)

Nice analysis Lebowski, I agree with what he said. I think a little hair on the ants would be awesome as well as a few lighting tweaks. Either way, nicely done :)

P.S. - How do you crank out your projects so fast? They are only a few days apart and still come out stunning. I love your style! :)

I think your lighting looks great. The post above is probably right about the location of the light source but I doubt that many would notice. Your scene looks really good and well thought out.

Excellent work! I love the concept and overall composition. There are only a couple things that stand out as needing a little touch-up work. The texture used on your boat side is repeating with seams too obviously. And the smoke from the boat in the back is too contrasting. It seems like the smoke doesn't have a whispy blend with the background. That might be just as easy as smudging it around a bit. But overall I really like it. :thumbsup:

i really admire your concepts for every piece of CG Art that you have done... the image has a lot of sharpness in it.. but i guess you have adapted some kind os style of your own which makes it look very original... PAT on the Back...Matt

Nice image.

The only thing that stands out to me is the perspective between the foreground and the background. The ship in the forground looks as though it's around 500ft out of the water. The horizon is your eye level, and it's in line with some of the houses that overlook the harbour, this puts your ship at the same level.
