Amazing creatures! I'd prefer if the shot was a little sharper, but can see from the exposure details that you had to deal with pretty low light levels.

The diagonals made by the necks are nice, but yes the softness is a problem. Also the colours aren't as vibrant as they could be... Perhaps try this as a b/w?

Cheers Ken! Hope you had a nice Xmas!
