aimeethetoo's 'Cirque de Stickee Notes' is one of the coolest ribbon winners. As much as I tried, I just could not get it to look anywhere near her excellent entry. It sure was fun trying.

I'm glad you had a good time with this and that you scored north of 6 (always a nice bonus!). Great colors and cool eyes. Thanks for picking one of my images to do for the challenge - it was so fun and cool to see it pop up while voting!! : )
As with many of the photos I have rated in this challenge, I believe this picture would do well on its own, but falls short on the small details that made the original a ribbon winner, still all in all a good shot that rates a 7 from me.
Absolutely love the colors in this composition! The colors are vibrant and bold much like what one would expect in a Cirque de Soleil performance. Love the make-up job for it also helps invoke the idea of your model being a Cirque performer. Lighting is wonderful for skin tones are great and the model is evenly lighted throughout the composition to showcase all the lovely details. Even the color of the eyes with the higher saturation and catchlights make her look magical and mysterious. I gotta hand it to you and Aimeethetoo for having the utmost in patience is arranging the sticky notes into a 'feathered' crown. Well done!
Beautiful blending of the pastels of the "hat" with the face and blouse. The eyes are especially riveting. A touch more definition on the lines below the eyes would have helped a bit. Very nice.
