Some blown out ares in the shot.
The image is quite cluttered but I guess it gives an atmosphere of a workman's study. The lighting and focus seems ok. The subject choice is different and I guess overall it works as either a documentary or photojournalistic type shot.
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 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.
