That is a difference of percepition and maybe the size of our monitors - and the training of the eye. I'm used to looking at dense, detail-saturated images, and I highly enjoy making them. So if your eye is different, fine. Happens.
The fact that the expressions are hard to read and they're looking at different directions - that's what people do, actually. I wanted their expression not be focused on a single object and reflect the fact that they're looking around their environment. Why is the eye closed, is she an enemy or a friend to the protagonist - these are natural questions to ask of a piece.
I can't help but get the impression that you tried to deliver your absolutely neccessary two cents, but stumbled and went all over with the "critique". Might be due to lack of practice, I guess.
Maybe I could use some practice, or learn better wording. Anyways, my two cents are just as good/bad as any other bloke (who isn't a proffessional), I'm not claiming to be the end-all critique.
