I like the crows. I'm not too keen on the dolphins (a bit kitschy) but something is needed to fill the space at bottom right. The colours are excellent. This would work nicely in a graphic novel. The title, I think, should read 'inter caelum et terram', not 'inter caecum et terram'. I googled and found: 'inter caelum et infernum'. The romantic suicide or the young maiden whose love has been denied throwing herself off a cliff to join her love' - these have been captured very well. Suicide as an ascension etc. - there is no ascension here, only a descent. Nice pink star-like objects. It's very interesting that she's blue...because it's happening at night but it would be interesting to see if normal flesh tones would work as well. Blue is more fun though but possibly makes it look a little x-men-ish.
