she doesn't look backlit, it's a disturbing effect, or I'm paranoid because of the expert editing rules. anyway, I like being disturbed, and your model is a real gas. 8
This is BEAUTIFUL! Such amazing crispness for low light and a little girl who was obviously moving! One of my favorites in a challenge that is blowing me away with how awesome the entries are! 10
This image troubles me a bit. It is so obviously a beautiful image and one of the best in the challenge, The tie in to sky is a bit of a reach but I wonder if the drama would be there if not for the richness and crop and placement of the sky itself. I think not so I'll vote as if the sky is one of the main players, which in the end it is.
A short side note... There is every possibility that there will be some negative feedback about the nature of the young subject and the pose in particular... I hope you accept it with the obvious style and class in which you presented this image. I think it's wonderful and portrays so perfectly the beauty and innocence of childhood. Man I hope I'm wrong... :)

Very cute picture of a girl in the water. Sky is not the subject here even though it is a lovely orange. The Pier has a lovely pattern and would have also been good without the girl. The girl is to centered though I see why it is done this way. Good job on filling the front of her with light. I like the reflection of the ripples.
Borderline DNMC, IMO - but a beautiful shot nonetheless :: I'm gonna guess your counting on all that sky reflecting the water to count, right? :: Seems you left a fair bit of sensor dust despite having rules wide open to anything :: A really great moment, but it would have met the challenge more if you had framed the pier along the bottom & gave us a whole lotta sky - no one could have faulted you for missing the assignment then.
This is a beautiful image. The only problem I have is that it is less about "sky" than about "child" or "water" IMHO. I'm still scoring this relatively high, because the photographic quality is good and my issue is one of interpretation or emphasis (and I never penalize an artist on the basis of the latter). I enjoyed this image. Well done. (7 for now. When I am done voting I might bump it to 8.)
This is a really good photo. I feel for you that voters are likely going to nail you to the cross. Great work with the reflections and the lighting is really good.
