Wonderful image - as you said in your comments, it appears some folks did not seem to understand the concept of simile.

Congrats on a great image. You have an identifiable style which is certainly good if you want to make a name for your self.
I think a lot of people took a long look at this. (For me the hands should have looked more relaxed).

Until I read these comments I was completely unaware that attractive people were immortal. Good news for both you and me! :P In all seriousness, if I had one critique it would be that while your photo clearly conveyed the quiet concept it only did so superficially. I personally would have enjoyed it more had the concept been supported in more aspects of the picture making process. For example, your composition fills the frame with detail and the light is fairly bright. As a picture, independent of the concept, it's loud, not quiet. Had it been a more minimal composition with say a dim light source in the distance it would have quieted down the shot considerably. If that makes sense.

Great idea, fantastic crop, you are very talented! To me the stitches mean silence and add a lot to the impact of this image.

Way to go, Samantha. I don't think the criticism cost you much in terms of scoring - the lesson here is that you look too sexy to be dead. ;-)
