I like the "feel" of the image and the composition and colors. But... if you're asking for a critique, what I'm disappointed in it about (even more so now that I know that such a talented portrait photographer took the shot) are:

-On my monitor it doesn't appear to be in focus anywhere. I really want her to be in focus.

-I think it would be hard to find a lesser flattering pose of her. Ha! She appears to have a slim waist and body, but her butt is closest to the camera and seems to be largely increased.

-There's something about her legs that I can't figure out. Her right side of her rear leg.

I wouldn't think that the low score was because of DNMC... it's just not up to your usually stellar work with portraits, in my opinion.

Hope this helps and doesn't offend, sweet friend.
