Bryan,
That is just my type of ship, an old british steamer, and beautifully executed. I particularly like the shot from the stern, she does look absolutely stunning.
I wouldn't hold fire on any more pictures of her, I could enjoy looking at models like this for hours.
Beautifull and thanks for sharing.
By the way I don't think anyone cast any doubts on your own abilities, i think it was rather your views on others that caused things to get off track.
If I were you I would say less and show more pictures!!
