I agree that the hand looks off because of the grip on the pistol. Though, while we are talking hand, I think the index finger should be slightly extended for the trigger. That leads me to the confusion I get from the image. After studying it more closely, the driver is not shooting at the aircraft at all, but a different target altogether. The laser looks headed for the aircraft, but her eyes don't, and her arm appears to be bending backward, but it can't be. I think that if she has to be shooting at something, it should be in another direction altogether because it would be less confusing. Plus, it would eliminate where her laser crosses the muzzle flash from the other gun. That's another confusing part. I also get confused with the light on the car. I don't like the way it blends with the big gun, I get confused about what it's a part of. Maybe if it were tilted a little outward to show the back of the big gun it would eliminate that, maybe depth of field, I'm not sure. I would also like to see a motion blur on the background instead of a gaussian. I think it would reinforce the forward motion considerably. The scaffold should be treated very carefully. As it is now, it appears to be travelling at the same rate as the car, and that just can't be. I realize we are watching it break, but I'm not sure how to better show it... maybe more blur on the ends and less on the middle, I don't know. Also, more blur on the wheels and tire tread would help with the motion. The action in the scene is very present, and there is an intensity you've created with this conflict. That comes through very clearly. I also like very well the cold, industrial color scheme. Especially because the people contrast it so well. And also the orange jumpsuit is a great color choice for the same reasons. The organic leaps out of the industrial, and it's really nice. And I suppose I should say that the frame is very cool, though I don't think you were looking for a crit of the frame. :) I think it's a really strong image, and I'd love to see where you take it from here.
