That's an image that would be fabulous if it were made into a very, very large print. Could decorate one wall of an upmarket seafood restaurant. Not sure about the text over the image though. It's a bit distracting. You might think about shrinking it or putting a white canvas around the pic and placing the text on that.

G'day, Just thought, if you move the signature down off the print in a border area, would you re-frame or crop the new image because I'm wondering of the formation of the birds makes the signature one of the compositional elements or subjects the photo is composed of... Does that make sense to anyone else :oops:

Maybe that's why it would look so good as a large mural size print in a commercial area...

Cheers,
Mudder

Sorry to have to say this but the wording destroys the image for me. As a graphic designer, and having a great image, the best possible way to put a name to this pic is to frame it and have the wording below the pic but within the frame.

The other recourse is to make the lettering very much smaller so that the eye does not constantly go to the wording.

thanks
