We had a great trip to Norway and were able to get a lot of pictures of these magnificent animals.

Great impact in this image !
I wonder if a crop with just the left group would balance better ? The two on the right tend to mess things up a little in my humble view.

Thanks for all your reactions and compliments. I'm not sure if I agree with some of yours advice to crop the animal on the right. It makes it more boring IMO. Find out yourself: http://www.ottoheijst.com/images/upload/npn01-repost.jpg

The repost gives a sense of danger - the animals are almost forming a circle for protection, or at least that's what it feels like. In your original the two animals on the right diminish that effect. So for me it depends on what message you want to convey. But personally I prefer the repost because is more simple and has more power because of that.
