First off, I find the layout attractive, yet slightly askew. I like the fact that the main building in the middle is offset to the right allowing for the vanishing point to be more towards the left. When I look at the picture as as whole (zoomed out) it does feel a bit 'odd' because of this, but I can't really find fault with it. Therefore, its pushing my comfort zone, and I like that; it makes me break out of the mind set that pictures should be centered. There's absolutely no reason that things like this need to be centered.The humor is simple but present. There aren't really any 'hidden' jokes (at least not that I've found) but there's a lot to look at. Everypony is seemingly involved with something going on; there's no idle ponies just hanging around doing nothing. (With the possible exception of Thunderlane, but he's always come across as kinda lazy anyway e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title="(Wink)"/>. Additionally, you didn't overwhelm the viewer with too many jokes. It's 'comfortable' with the density of humor. Personally, I liked Lily and the tentacles; Cherilee watching the CMC, the small Lunar flag on the tower, Flitter and Cloudkicker's 'cloudpony', and Pinkamena with her knife. These really caught my attention and made me smile.If I had to list some negatives, I think I would say, that the middle left where we can see the castle in the background feels rather far more empty than it may need. I think you could have added something in there; maybe one or two more ponies doing something, just to break up the space and still leave it open enough to see the castle and it's damaged wall.Overwall, the impact is solid. It was well drawn, well thought out, and well executed. This is not interesting enough for me wanting it as a poster on my wall, but it is interesting enough for me to want it as a desktop background.thx.
