Well....this is me. I hope no one leaves a "you're ugly" comment. Hehe. I hope this scores above a 5.5. I have no idea how the voters will take it. :/
This is pretty much advanced editing. I burned a bit around my face, dodged and burned my eyes/lips, made my eyebrows look a little more even, changed the hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, & shadows/highlights, and added a very slight diffuse glow.

I was one of your 8s just found this again while cruising for the walkabout side. Ok read your remarks and shape of face great, nose strong fits, Lips perfect, eyes OMG!!!! the word you were looking for was beautiful! Voters took it well, This voter was taken with it!
Let's see... how can I put this... ok-- if nearly all of the pages were torn out of the last dictionary on earth and "ugly" was the only word left to use, I'd have to remain speechless.
It's a beautiful portrait that conveys both outward and inner beauty. And I like the distracting hair. :) Well done and congrats on a great score.
The hair across the nose is a little distracting but other than that, Great picture!. No way anyone could say "you're ugly", unless they had no perception of true beauty.
It's a beautiful shot...but, I wish under your neck wasn't so dark. It gives the appearance that your head is floating in mid air...not attached to anything.
Wow sharp image, love the wispy hair. I like that it isn't over processed... nice expression, you should smile more, you're too young to be so serious!
