Hey Svetlana.

This is exceptional... I agree with the critique club comment that it is a little too tight at the top... but that is being picky.... regarding votes, I think that in some ways your work is too artistic for this forum. I guess that most voters don't spend enough time on each photo to interpret the deeper meaning... as kteach mentions.. too out of the box for a 5 second view and vote...

Have you considered posting to other sites... your work would suite photo.net rather well for example.

Looking through your portfolio of self portraits you have many very strong images... this is a good shot, but IMO not the best of your work..

Congrats on the top 10 place... I think if the eyes were a little more in focus you'd have a top 3... nice work..

cute cat... the flash is a little harsh on the front paw... you could try flash compensation and reduce it by a stop...

This should have done better... I guess it lack something for the voters... but IMO it is top 10 of this challenge... Free study challenges are very hard... this shot would have ribboned in any number of weekly challenges...
