My first thought upon seeing "In Longing Spirit" was that I loved the composition, with the background unfocused almost to obscurity to draw my focus entirely on the figure at center. But it was the composition of the figure that really blew me away - the pose, the exposed shoulder and the way the light almost seems to revel the skeletal structure underneath, the loose strands of hair... Something about the whole created is just striking to me. Her disheveled look makes me imagine this whole scenario of a woman waiting on the cool beach for her wayward sailor.

There isn't anything to define the exact situation, and I love that its left to the viewer to give the image context, and while it isn't the most original pose, its effective in this case (rather than cliched).

My opinion overall: A lovely photograph, and you obviously paid a lot of attention to the details and textures.
