I really love this! It's got so much tucked away into it. Incacha, the animal leap, the heartbeat, even the paramedic giving the thumbs-up! Plus the little vignette of the group gives a great sense of perspective.
But the crucial things are of course the studies of Blair and Jim. Great choice of shots here, and deployed brilliantly in the overall image. I like the triangular effect with drowned Blair and distraught Jim at the top, then the glowing moment of resurrection below. Plus all the images flow in a narrative way as well, with despair at the top, then action in the middle, and the restoration! But it's all very subtle and blends together beautifully.
It's that shot of Jim that gets me, and it gets me every time. At that moment he just looks so defeated and *old*. Emotive stuff from Mr Burgi there. It gives a fine sense of what Jim will be if Blair never wakes up. Fab work, ma'am! :))
