Beautiful tonal range, very nice lighting. The upper left "thingy" (the edge of the backdrop, I presume) is distracting, but overall a nice composition.
A graceful gesture, and a smile that says 'can we be done with this yet?' It's a very pretty photo, nicely lit, nicely composed, nicely exposed. Quibble - I'd have cloned out the distractions near the left edge. Very nice.
excellent composition, wonderful capture. i just don't understand why you didn't clean up the top left corner, especially when the challenge editing rules allow it. that's the type of thing that can make a half-point difference or more in your final score. hopefully, it's just me, and no one else will notice, because this really is a nice image. good luck!
