Howdy Aleks from the critique club. Firstly, an excellent submission. The final score clearly indicates that many voters found this image to be among the best and this why, I would say, it is so. On a technical side, I think you've nailed it. The sharpness is excellent as is the coloration and and use of shadow. When I look at the composition closely, I see that you've cropped off the very top of her head and her chin as well. Good choice as it draws the viewer's attention to the eyes. Had I had to edit the photo, I would have slightly increased the saturation in the blues of the eyes as to create an bit more of an exotic feel to the shot. That being said, all other elements are really well done and I'd say the reasons I can figure it doid not rank higher are:

1) Either you love it or you just like it. I'd be hard pressed to say that you can really not like this shot. It simply is a very good photo.

2) This genre of photo has been used fairly often and this shot had to compare with some stiff competition. Now, yours will be one of the shots subsequent entrants will need to out-shine in order to get a high score.

Hope that provides you with a bit more insight. Peace.

I think those are drops, not bubbles - cool idea that would be REALLY hard to do with bubbles.

Some people might only see bubbles but those who look at the big picture will see your creativeness. Great job.
