Beautiful image with great lighting, but I don't know how this particular texture of bricks rotated 90 degrees adds to the image. I end up spending too much time trying to figure out what you meant using such a strong graphic element and can't resolve it. Either leave them un-rotated, and the bricked in/ walled off metaphor works, or dirty up the layer so it is just a graphic element stripped of possible meaning. It is a minor point, but it detracts attention from a well lit,well posed and beautifully handled post processed shot.

Nicely done. I wish that the filter was less visible and would look more like a veil. I would have erased it on the arm. This being said, I much appreciate the picture, the pose, the idea of a hard lived life, the temerity of it, the coloring.

nice skyline, meets the challenge well, not the typical angle with the needle in it, well exposed with lots going on with the boats

What? No Space needle? :)
A nice shot by itself, but having a distinguished landmark helps I think. Also, if the foreground had a little more light, it would've been awesome to see all those sailboats I think - a unique foreground in the challenge.

Quite the collection of structures overlooking the bay - would make a fine postcard.
