I love the impressionistic blur, but the tilted horizon spoils the picture somewhat. I can see that if you simply straightened it while cropping you'd lose parts you wouldn't want to. I'd suggest edit>transform>skew if you use photoshop.

I like your lighting. Her pose seems a tad awkward.

I really like the way you've carried out this concept of time traveler. It's as if she's just appeared from another time/dimension, middle ages costume, into our modern industrial times - the bottle top and can/bottle opener sculpture. The ghostly figures and flow of their line of movement are wonderful. I think this meets the challenge well.

middle of the road 5 from me, just off centre composition to start with move her to the left 2 foot etc have a loo at the golden rules and fibonacci spiral, //digital-photography-school.com/divine-composition-with-fibonaccis-ratio-the-rule-of-thirds-on-steroids/

yes its a steampunk challenge but the dull copper colour cast does nothing to make this a wow picture, what relevance the ghostly figures have is beyond me that don't add anything to the image and this image does scream steam punk, maybe middle pirate girl.

her pose is somewhat "what you looking at" body language isn't great and the location is random like she was walking down the street doing some shopping and you took a quick snap shot

the lighting doesn't match the scene, you,ve got hair light which contrast with the light in the background image

it appears you've cranked the contrast and lost all detail in her dress/basque its just black even on my calibrated 27" iMac

whats the weird thing bottom left corner?

give her some steam punk glasses and loose the random background and you might have bumped up a score or two

seems a top hat would have helped as well

miantstream sells on dpc voters are in the majority sheep getting them to change their narrow voting criteria is a challenge that in 4 years or more I've only once or twice succeeded in.

The ebb and flow of the sea and life in a soft, lovely scene reminiscent of the Impressionists.

Reminds me of the pirate days almost and a fun shot.. like the ghostlike people, but not sure about the pot on the right.
