The Angry Whale....

I've been cutting away frantically for this new story, and I'm stuck on a design decision. The image that I'm stuck on is where the whale becomes furious from all the rumours about the giant buddha. I'm happy with how the whale looks, but wondering whether I should get rid of all the 'mini-buddha's that represent all the rumours he's heard. With Buddhas.... or without them, which look better?
