This has an almost oriental feel to it - minimalistic, but pleasing at the same time.

That's all you got for comments? What a shame! I really liked this - contrasting the black of earth with a fire-y sky hinting at a dragon lurking just over the horizon, the castle (or maybe a tree, but it looked like a castle to me), and the young boy with a backpack and a sword - to me this represents the essence of a fairy tale (where do all the adults disappear to in most of these stories?). Most of all, this releases the imagination by providing just the framework, and leaving the viewer free to fill in the details.

Very nice shot of a 1970 Ford Mustang! I think you basically got hammered by the DNMC vote, but I think it fits quite nicely.
I find the light pole being visible through the hood opening distracting - don't know if you had any option in positioning the car, but trying to minimize distractions in the background would improve the shot, IMO.
The angle of the car is spot on - very nice.

Well, if it isn't a giant birthday cake! Happy birthday!
Could you get a more normalized - looking bell curve on your votes?

Awesome! You do magic. Even without the original, this would be special.

Forgive me if I repeat others' comments - I deliberately didn't read them so as to not be influenced by them.
Two things pop out at me - the four concrete pillars, and the ocean/sky line being dead center in the picture. The four pillars don't make any visual sense to me - the foreground looks like a retaining wall, but the pillars themselves look like they are at beach level, and there is no edge or transition between a raised area and the beach. The other thing that emerges after looking at it a bit is that the upper left 2/3 of the shot is pretty dark and lacking in features - dark sky, dark sea. I would suggest trying more contrast - about the only real white in the shot is the waves. The windows in the building are interesting, but blend into the rest of the shot too much.
The person adds some perspective as to size, etc. but is a bit far from the camera.
Emotionally, this is kind-of a "downer" shot - no spot of color, just all greys and darker greys - almost oppressive or depressive.

Yes, since this is a shot of a sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, I was going for "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles

That's a low score?
I would suggest doing perspective correction on this. Either the side lamp posts should be straight, or you could lose them altogether.

FWIW - my impression of this is "fake" or "unreal". I don't know of anyone or any context (acting might be a possibility) where you would put your hands near your face like that without touching it. Also, the processing on the skin comes across as fake. I'd crop on the left (too much arm) to just to the left of the lowest bracelet, and on the right to remove just a bit of her hair. There isn't enough above her face to crop down from the top also. Also, it seems like there's something wrong with her left hand - the line along her hand & little finger is too straight.
On the plus side, you have done a great job with the catchlights in her eyes, the highlights in her hair. I like the lighting very much, with the exception of the shadow cast by her right hand on her face - but the overall location and quality is very nice. I really like your use of the turquoise in the bracelets to add a touch of color and interest to an otherwise mostly monochrome image. I especially like the upper bracelet and how it combines the brown & turquoise in a single item - helps to tie things together. She has a great expression.
Despite my criticisms, I doubt I could do even 1/2 as well.
