This has the feeling of being something real and not setup. Good job and congrats on your ribbon.

This is just fantastic! This stands on it's own without trying to meet a challenge. It's a favorite.

Your processing is great here - hopefully you post it after the challenge is over. The only improvement in my opinion would be to not have the model. One of the best of the challenge.

This is funny and using only a couple of colors works perfectly. This looks like a postcard. One of my favorites of the challenge.

Reluctant Model in Blue

Comment:
I certainly understand the "reluctant" part. I like the pose and overall composition. The soft colors work well with the model. Reflection adds just a bit of depth, but not too much. The only thing that stands out that may be improved a bit is the transtion midway where the color doesn't quite fade into the white background; but perhaps that is your intent. Well done.
