A new version of my super-fast battlecruiser photo

This is a new version of my super-fast battlecruiser photoart. I worked at trying to make the photo match my pencil drawing more closely. These are 800ft long and carry 4-17in/45 BLR and 16-4in/50 QF guns. The side armor is 8in and the designed speed is about 37 knots. I would lay down four of these in 1916 (Achilles, Swiftsure, Garland, and Bonaventure). They are intended to replace the original group of 12in-gunned 33 knot vessels built starting in 1905 (such as the Essex and Sussex, the original pair).
