Beautiful image - you guys are just showing off now!
Very artistic - it certainly would help us out enormously if all these objects actually were located in dense little pockets of sky like this!!

Yeh the Grus galaxies are so small that they needed to be enlarged quite a bit, so that image doesn't look quite as smooth as the Fornax grouping once brought together, the Grus galaxies are only about 1/3rd the size of the Leo galaxies but NGC 1365 is about the same size. So this composite technique will work better for some groupings than others
