This image works so well on so many levels its a challange to describe. I'll settle for one thing: action. The sense of action is so strong that I almost forget that I'm looking at one of the most bizzare land dwelling creatures I've ever seen. And, I can imagine feeling the wind that is driving those clouds and ruffling the feathers on the backs of those creatures. I am very impressed.
