I have no idea why your photos are not doing better than they are. For me you have deserved a ribbon long ago. Everyone of your last photos have been of ribbon quality, I personally do not understand what is wrong here.
wow, this should have done better. I love the lighting and the subtle shades of blue. It feels cool, yet at the same time warm and inviting. It definetely portrays a sense of calm to me even if the model doesn't look like she is actually, "resting" as in sleeping, she is still at rest. When shots like this don't break 6 I have no idea what the voters are thinking.
Good light, I like the way the shadows fall across the image. She doesn't look that comfortable to me. It would have helped if she appeared more relaxed. Still, very nice photo.
Love the composition of this shot with the matching colours. However, it seems quite overexposed, so much that we are losing skin detail (it looks flat). Very pretty girl.
Amazing high-key portrait... the face tones are perfectly exposed, and yet the rest of the photo is so high-key. You've captured a great expression in your subject, and a great pose. Effective composition and crop. 10
i find the picture is too light... which makes the turquoise in the top right become more of a focal point than you might want it. the subject is lovely, and gives a feeling of being at rest
