Whenever I get a disappointing score (all too frequently) I would love to have someone give their opinion of why.
I think in your shot the first impression would be that it appears to be out of focus. I know that one of her eyes (the furthest away) is in focus but because of the low camera angle, there's a lot of OOF face before you get to the eyes. (I'm no expert but a rule of thumb in portraiture suggests shooting at eye level or slightly above.)
Secondly there is no connection between the model and the viewer - she is looking away with an almost expressionless face.
And finally the lighting is a little harsh.
Hope this was helpful. I gave this a 6 BTW.

Congrats on the HM and getting this published,
(The thing about the '3'voters - they'll always be there and we all have to put up with them.)
