I think this picture should have scored much higher.
I gave it a 7. The background colour is somehow unappealing. I would have changed some tones to lean more to blue.

Dear Fina

So sorry that your lovely firework display didn't score better.
The Challenge was about a resolution - something you want to achieve or change in the New Year: that is missing in your picture and maybe the reason why voters didn't rate it higher. This picture would have done better in the "Holiday Cheer" challenge I think.
Can you handle postprocessing? To darken the sky might have helped too. If you want me to help you just contact me, ok?
Don't be sad, just go for the next time

Wonderful collection of the different aspects of being a woman - young, old, working, sleeping, being a lover and a mother... one can relate to so many situations. Altough many of the pictures are telling a story of their own the impact as an essay collection is much stronger.
My favourites are femmes #5 and #14 but the picture that stirs me most is #19. There are so many questions arising! The pictures taken at the museum give a more cultural emphasis and the last one is like an exclmation mark.
Love your work!

I had to look up what Pauls comment means in my English wordbook, so I found out that it's to the point. I can't say it any better.
I also love the idea of the quotations.
It's a very U.S.American essay- but any viewer can understand it, it's like a witness to history
