Postcard Worthy?

The Merlion, standing proudly near Singapore's Central Business District.

Photobucket

The Merlion is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Its name combines "mer" meaning the sea and "lion". The fish body comes from Singapore's ancient name back when it was a fishing village — Temasek — meaning "sea town" in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore's original name — Singapura — meaning "lion city" or "kota singa" in Sanskrit and Malay.

LOL. funny people here. I think the photo seems to be a little tilted, maybe i would play around the exp to make it look brighter and cleaner! maybe you can try to increase the saturation of blue tones? =)
My 2 cents!

Dude, since you're now in the same sinking boat it's about time we had another photo session... preferably somewhere more visually exciting then a bloody bird park. Let me know.
