    Fabs,
    Wonderful composition - I find it easy to anthropomorphize groups like this - ambassadors lined up to present their gifts to the local ruler, for example. It looks a little dark to me (obviously from your data it was pretty dark). Perhaps lighten the midtones a bit and add a bit of midtone saturation (CS4 vibrance).

    My vote is with Chris, a tad dark. But........I'm jealous Fabs! It still rocks.

    Beautiful picture Fabs, a wall hanger sure for me. I too agree with Chris on the picture being a tad dark.

    I am glad that everyone likes the image but there are major probelms being overlooked.
    1-only two good head angles out of five.
    2-the lower part of four of the birds are cut off.
    3-the bird on the right needs a bit more room above.

    I do like the puffins and of course, the fish.
