i liked the expression on her face. the background looks blown-up and IMO the resolution could have been better.

You have a great emotive image, hurt but using it in the challenge.
Availible light just created problems when it created the reflection.
Graininess and flare over her hair tarnish an otherwise good shot.

The reflection draws less attention for me then the setting around it. More focus on the reflection would make this an excellent photograph for me.

Too much light blast on the left. Tighter cropping might help.

Would that be Holy???

A bit grainy, but I like the idea of it. I'd suggest, using the maximum 640 pixelation to increase the size of the image. Overall, nicely composed.
