no offense meant, but I truly do not understand how this pic scored so well. Composition is decent, but the overall look is contrived and campy. The background is distracting and while the light/dark balance of the composition is passable, the rest of it is completely unremarkable, even amateurish. I don't find her at all sexy. She looks bored to me.
There are hundreds of better shots in this challenge.

I love the red against the paleness of her skin and the black of the fan and gloves. Nice pose, too.

sorry this just doesn't appeal to me...your subject isn't in "crisp focus" it is just a little "soft"

The lighting is nearly 100% for me, just a touch more brightness on the eye. A slight crookedness bothers me a little as well (top arm of the couch isn't level - but these are minor nitpicks for a fine image.
