I think to improve this shot you'd have to remove some of the clutter. Too much going on for the eye to stop. The focus, light, color.....all good. Just seems messy to me. The blue whale is the key.

I have no idea what this is. Perhaps that's the point? I have to assume that's rust. I"m sorry, but this image doesn't grab me in any way. I'm willing to admit that it may be just me.

I like the whales in terms of topical interest, color, and shape. However, by placing them in this visually distracting environment you've reduced them to just one more aspect of the clutter. Better to have isolated them against a simple background. This looks like it was taken in the office of an antique dealer or eBay seller (from one who knows ;D). I gave it a four.

The background is a little cluttered. I like the lighting a lot.

Background is way to distracting. Now if you took a picture of them at the beach in the surf that would have been very interesting.
