Usually I will look at an image a few times before i decide what I think of it. This one I like a lot, and the only critique I have to offer is that I feel like the horizon should have been corrected, and I might have pulled a bit of crop in on the sides to pull the focus tighter. Burn the foreground a little and darken the blacks a tiny bit.

I can see that this has been beat over the bush on various aspects, but I had to look at it three times to realize that it was in fact a woman's face up there, and not some adolescent photoshop antics.
Yeah, it's out of the box, but the absolute stillness of the body mixed with the wierd violence in the face/head area is just creepy and does not compute. It seems...almost sociopathic? Dark and incomplete?
It creeps me out, so maybe it has some artistic value...I am personally missing the point though. I want to see a suggestion of a source for the violent reaction, or have some more visual suggestions of the context of the moment.
