What an interesting idea, great concept under the transparency category. I like that you were brave and put yourself out there, I think that is awesome. The subject is great, I love the combining of two subject like a woman and science. The first thing that hits me from the image is your shirt. The texture draws away from the subject just a little bit, I would have preferred a basic t-shirt either white or black. Also there seems to be a little bit of a line above your head on the left side, some one commented on possible window sill in the shot. I really love the warming feeling in the background color, it almost looks like a perfect backdrop. I think you did a great job I would have scored you higher then what you received. Good job.
I would like it more with harder contrast +30 in PS.
I know that that would blow out some highlights but under the advanced editing rules you are allowe to correct for that with the history brush.
This is quite a striking image, although I feel that it could do with a bit more contrast. Also, there seems to be quite a lot of haloing around the underside of the telescope.
Well, I'm not too sure I like the composition. The subject has too little interaction with the telescope. Why are the two in the same picture? and why is she transparent? the technicals are nice though.
