In the Blink of an Eye

Greetings fromt the Critique Club
Hi Steve!

Composition
I understand your theme well. But what happened in the blink? If we saw more - something more - like an egg dropping from shoulder height to her waist or something - as she blinked. Like "as she's blinking, it's falling." (or some other such nonsense) The crop is very tight.

Color
The colors look just a hair washed out - maybe a bit more brightness and contrast would take that white film look off. I like the colors you do have.

Focus
Looks a bit soft and dreamy. You didn't write what your intent was, so I'll just say it looks soft - if that's what you were going for, congrats. :)

Subject matter
As I said above - I wish there was something to show the timeline of a blink... the eye is good and "blink of an eye" is a great storyline for a triptych!

Overall
I like this shot - I think it has great potential!

Happy shooting and good luck!

lovely picture, but that border just murders it. its a bit too bright and too thick, distracts from your elegant composition.

Needs softer lighting, IMHO.

Holy bright borders batman!! This is a nice simple composition with a very clear message. But I'm not real fond of the border that houses this composition. Still its pretty good.

I somehow don't see this as an actual postcard on a rack somewhere. Nice image, though.
