Nice work like ever, even if I never see gabriel as the harbinger of doom!
What me disturb a little bit are the people in the background, they dont want to fit to the rest in my eyes. But I only mean the first rows next to the "VIP-Area"

what would you suggest to modify... I could probably make them fuzzier or less colorful
