This is very nice!
However, if you could add a flying overlay image of the legend, then it would be perfect.

Again, nice work,

Yes, well done! I like the quite legible legend where its at.

The legend is floating in the Indian Ocean.. seems like a fun spot for it, not obscuring any land either.

And thanks for the kudos! I'll see what else I can come up with next.
