Wow! What lovely orchestration! I really liked the non-diatonic notes in the waltz piece. It really did feel like Newman because of that.
I think we had a similar interpretation, but look at how that interpreatation took us to different places. For me I was really fixated on the girl and her bubbly care taker that she was holding on to. You focused on the underwater aspect which I think turned out nice. Especially in shallow.
Lovely work!
