This scene must be nearing completion; every time I try to add something I get
about a dozen versions that look worse!

I spent a couple of hours moving the camera to get this view right now it's at
poster proportions (including playing with a vertically oriented poster),
eventually I decided this was best. Then I spent a while trying different things
to occupy the big empty space on the right of the picture: a big splash of water
(which was going to have a dolphin jumping out of it)? after about an hour
experimenting I concluded it was going to shift the focus too much, a sharks
fin? well that drew the eye, and looks silly.

After all of that I decided I needed a seagull, which took a whole evening to
build (it's made from blobs). It looks pretty good but I'm not sure about the
angle we're viewing it from, is it too hard to tell what it is?

Anyway, I personally think this is an improvement over v3, but only slightly.
I'm starting to think it's nearly finished (or as finished as it's going to
get), so I'll add a few more little details and then call it finished. I'm
thinking I'll add a distant flock of birds, and some fish swimming in the shadow
of the fractal.

But of course I'm open to suggestions for what to add, and any criticism of
what's already there. What do you think?

(BTW, apologies to those of you with low res monitors, but I really wanted to
keep the detail in this image!)
