This is an interesting composition. I think the work you are doing with mirroring is really strong. I wonder if scaling it up somehow might be called for, since it is a big piece of the message. I also feel like the bits on the right and top are less dynamic. Maybe doing more with fewer might be worth thinking about. Can one or two pieces be given a presence to balance with the left portions--or maybe integrate the text onto that page and do something with the hands. I'm thinking of some kind of counterpoint/parallel component to the strong mirror image.

This could be a movie poster. Great job

I've read Their Eyes Were Watching God and personally enjoyed it and I think this is a really good collage. I'm somewhat confused at why she seems afraid in the picture. She was never really afraid. She was a strong, independent (for the time, REALLY independent) woman. I never found her to be afraid. Perhaps looked down on, but never afraid...sorry. I thought I'd note that. Also, even though you did a great job with the opacity, I still seem to think the middle picture at the top is...oh, I guess it just doesn't fit there for me. I could be wrong... I love the text.
