I'm also impressed with how how watery the water is.
However, the move your left-hand figure is doing is just wrong, in terms of how one fights with a sword - he's directing his opponent's sword into his own arm! When you parry a sword, you parry it away from yourself. If you're working with 2 weapons like he is, generally you parry to the outside of the weapon you're using to parry (unless it's a desperation counter, in which case you're sometimes just trying to avoid a killing wound and know you may take a non-vital blow in the process). So either he should be using the main gauche (knife) to push the sword blade towards the viewer or he should be using his rapier to parry the sword blade away from himself.
I very much like the picture. It really does look like the sort of thing you get in mediaeval fencing manuscripts, but with a better background :-)
