Oh, I like tnun's observation about the pattern on her dress - tones work as well.

Congratulations on the top five placement.

My favorite! Such an interesting assortment of brushes and I found the neutral tones perfect - natural and unifying. My highest score and one of your 9's :) Congratulations.

Headline is perfect - wish image quality (exposure, focus) was better. The fact that story is more important than image quality in photojournalism is much in its favor.
