Pagoda Boat Romance

Well using my prior thumb nails I did a little rearranging of the elements that I came up with inside photoshop. I think the landscape version is the one I like the best. Right now everything is just purely placement. There are two stories that I am trying to tell in this illustration. The first is of a world of boats, where life is on the boats, and it all creates a unique atmosphere. The second is a tail of romance and scandal. The fore ground figures are most likely going to be reacting to the middle ground characters but for now I am just looking for placement.
