Well... I wasn't satisfied with the way the scene was heading and also so suggestions lead me to restart this project. Here is what I have from my second attempt
Feels alot more grand now. Atleast the 3rd render does. Watch the pixel ratio on the large object in teh middle. The way it's mapped right now is making it look smaller than it is. I would tile it a little more and add some decals to break up the repetition. I'd also add some objects along the stairs to help show exactly how large they are. The line running through the sides of the stairs I don't think is working for you... if that line should be there, it'd be better if it was at the bottom where the stairs met the water. I like this composition so far... I'd move the wrecked ships a little more into the scene.. it'll help with scale reference and make things a bit more interesting.. you have a large empty space in the lower left quadrant of the image. Keep going, it's alot better... I know it's hard to re-start the entire scene, so mad props for that.
