Looks like the start of an exciting voyage.
Composition and clarity are well executed with the branch in the foreground providing nice perspective.
Might have needed a very slight adjustment on the color level. Try taking it down a bit and see if it doesn't give it more "by gone era" look.
In all, very well composed and delivered.
