Oh, my, Tom! You've just knocked my socks off with this one! I absolutely love the composition, the grand space with architectural detail, the light (and control of values between the inside and outside light), and the feeling of distance and scale you've established by putting the figures in the background. I also love how you've placed him midway (as in relation to the midshipmen) between the ceiling and floor. Plus, you have painted him as a dignified but likable individual. I'm glad I could inspire you even in a small way to paint something so noble.
