Anyway you did also ask for critique soooooo... I'll try. Bare in mind I'm no artist myself! There's only *one* think I can think of here that might apply as a criticism and that's the feel of it being so very still. You've got all this action, so many things going on and a horrendous attention to detail but there's something not quite right in that it feels like a painting of a battle scene... it's hard to explain. All I can think of that might be missing is blur. Blurring around the edges where things have been moving - where they were to where they are now if the fraction of a second it took to watch this happen. It's something we take for granted with our eyes because quite often things move too fast for us. But compare this to a still image from a slow-motion capture versus those images you see where the (shutter?) has been let go a long time e.g. water looks blurred and so forth. That's what I'm trying to get at.
It's still an *amazing* picture though and you've been careful with *everything* else I can think of - even her hair. The only thing that can be missing is the factoring in of t he imperfections in human vision that mean that moving objects look a little less clear than you have painted them.
Now some time has passed and I see thing I'd like to change, but back then I just knew I wasn't satisfied with the result. Whatever I tried it still looked kinda "shattered".
And yep, feel free to post it on Facebook.
By the way, I didn't know Rachel Maddow saved the galaxy! Interesting fact!
