I actually shot this for my husband's birthday, and then suffered the "oh no, I don't have an entry for this weeks challenge" syndrome, and decided to enter. (Don't have the guts to submit the full on version though :P ) I guess I'm masochistic, because I'm sure I'll stress about the scores all week.

I can not for the life of me figure why this one finished with a 5.0 score!!! I think the pose is very exotic, and it has very nice lighting and focus. Jeeeeeez. ..the voters are so unpredictable!!!
Very well done with the post-processing. Nice job on the lighting as well. The eyes are quite captivating, although I do find myself turning my head to see the person. Once I do that I think I may recognize this fine photographer's self-portrait. :D Good luck in the challenge.
Something about the composition doesn't work. There seems to be some kind of mismatch between her head and her shoulders. Somehow it looks like a small head on a very big torso.
