First, I'd like to say, wow, you've created such a wonderful sea warrior. I love all the elements you have added, and so well too, so much so that you have changed the model stock so drastically, it's so original. My favourite is the flowy fishnet. (: In addition, the overall atmosphere adds on to the model's strong and hard gaze, giving this vibe that this sea warrior is not to be taken lightly. I really like that as well.

What I think can be improved is the depth. I feel you could add more blur (gaussian blur or lens blur) to the shipwreck because from what I can see, the wooden architecture seems to be more in focus than the shipwreck even though the shipwreck is further away. If you'd like to know how much you should blur it, compare it to the blurriness of the beach at which you've placed the shipwreck. Furthermore, since there is a light source from the side, maybe you could add some lights on the shipwreck? You can do so by adding inner shadow with the colour you want on colour dodge (ignore this if you have your way of adding such extra lighting on a stock (<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>.

All in all, an artwork of great, original concept. With just a few tweaks on depth and, perhaps, the lighting on the shipwreck, this piece could look slightly better.

I hope this critique helps you!
Cheers~
