Good idea but hair is in the way of the pearl and kinda look like there is a line through it. My vote 8.

I'm afraid the faceless head does nothing for me here.

While your photo certainly conveys the title that you have chosen it does nothing for me as a photo. the eye peeping out between all that hair does not enhance the picture. In fact IMHO all that hair and fur around the neckline is just a cover-up. I would have had the hair pulled up and out of the way and tried to do a more artsy pose with the whole neck bare so that the pearl stood out as the focus of the photo.

not sure what to make of this shot. There's a lot going on. The hair-covered face, the fur collar... and then the pearl earring. Maybe a macro shot of the earring might have been slightly better or if the face was not covered. Dunno. just my opinion. I like the diea behind it and it does meet the challenge very well

Just a little understated.... maybe a more flashy earring instead of a stud. That or if you had been closer?

Nice placement of the hair and framing. A little overexposed. Good title representation.

Some creative lighting of some sort and some alternative compositions may have helped you create a better opportunity here...

So scratched. The hair looks that picture as only one snapshot.
