Also, we did see a guy on a sailboat down there ... now that is really "on his own"!!!
Here is a reworked repost. I do like it much more without the diagonal wavelet. I can now see that wavelet as a pretty terrible merge with the penguin. I had left it originally believing the element might add dynamics, and possibly the intersection would keep attention near the power point. I also tried to bring down the whites a tad. Hope you like the changes.
I thank you all again for all the great suggestions for improvements!
