      I think so Naroth - my brain wants to move the big rock to where the rock with the birds are - and possibly put the bird rock where the little rock on the right is ....maybe not so far to the right but over there - you could paint another flying fish on that side at a smaller scale so it is about the same distance back as the rock with birds and you could have the little birds looking up at the flying fish....or not 🙂 long answer to a short question - yes i think it will be too large and mysterious if the the big rock is in the gutter - could be wrong though...i do love your painting though!

        @Kevin-Longueil Thank you, that is a very good suggestion. The original was only half page but I decided to extend the whole page and realized something is weird about the rock haha. it was like this. Thanks again.

            This looks good - each page reads well as its own composition and the spread reads well as a composition too - i don't think this is necessary but i think it is a bit of a home run when you make it happen - the text will add visual weight to the right side of the composition too as you said - i like how you changed the birds to have them looking in different directions with only a few having discovered the flying fish - really looks nice!

                looks good Naroth. The change really helped. I like the watercolour look and the cloud looks nice.

                        @Naroth-Kean if this is a sunny day you can push that idea more by adding more contrast to the fish in the foreground. Most likely, the tops of the fish would be in full light and should be the lightest value in the image. Add some cast shadows from the wings/fins and wrap the shadows around the bod to show form. These fish would be very shiny and will have very defined specular highlights.
