Hey Leroy,
Here's what I have to offer:

This is a superb image in terms of artistic vision. The overall image works well in the lighting and subject, smooth skin and the amount of "mystery" in what is not shown. The sparks are perfectly captured, balance out the shot and create a strong focal point for the viewer as well as the model's point of focus.
My only dig on this is something I am not sure can be or coud be prevented - the slightly smaller/disproportionate size of her head (or what is viewable anyway of her head) and her body. The low camera angle being the obvious cause of it.

Great vision and creativity on this overall.
It's NOT always about the scores you know. I would have been proud to have done a shot as nice as this, knowing I would get many low votes, as it is not one that appeals to all.

Congrats.

when i get that feeling...

Love the perspective on this shot & the way the leaves are cleared away just ahead her area. THIS is the kind of photography that moves me and most want to do.
For sure something I would be proud to call my own.

Like I said on the Sadie pic, this processing is awesome and so well suited for this.
The darkness & hint of foliage on top is great!
