Nicely done Daniel. Ouch on the score though! I didn't vote but I think it meets the challenge well, and I like the composition of her on the rail and the way her position contributes to the leading lines. One thing I do think might be better is to crop the top landing, leaving just the railing, stairs, and her. It accentuates the geometry more, though the picture as is may tell more of a story.

Im in SHOCK this finished where it did... so much for being different huh? I liked it though as Im sure you did too. Who knows the secret of the voters minds...
I'm really not sure what you were going for here. It looks like the person (you? self -portrait? or model) is stretching naked against a railing, or perhaps having a heart to heart talk with the foot. When I'm voting on a picture, natural poses capture my attention, or an interesting pose. This doesn't appear natural at all. I certainly don't take off all my clothes and stretch out on my railing, so I can't even relate to what was captured. What's going on here doesn't seem interesting. The lighting could have been better. Also, when doing nudes, or having a person close up in the photo, it is much more interesting to see the person from the front, at least the face. Its hard to pull off a photo of a person with their back turned.
Lines and Curves. The lighting is quite suitable for photographing the lines, but it strikes me as being a little harsh for photographing the curves. And a quibble: The molding at the right edge of the photo is a distraction ( is it a picture frame?) I'd have been tempted to crop out the top 20% and right 10% of the photo.
