Good color choices. The only thing I would like to change is the reflection in the bottle. 10.

This is a very wistful composition and brings out the sweetness of the subject. Of course, major problems with portraits is the haunting shift of color values from face to arms, shoulders and hands. I usually begin by first shooting a white card and then desaturating a bit under. Asking subject to wet lips helps to enhance them and their color.
For the background, I would have pinched the curtain so as not to distract with the vertical fold. Better a curve to add to the ethereal feel.
The only fault I find is in the eyes. because you chose a foreshortening angle big complications arise in touching up the eyes. It is best to leave them alone. If you did not work on them with either the dodge or saturation tools, then you needed a few more takes to get them perfect. The single glitter in the center is to be avoided. best to have two catchlights on the iris. A simple tweak of the lights will have yielded that without hurting your effect.
Otherwise, congratulations on this effort. It was well thought out and you managed to end pretty high. You will only get better.

A true work of art - very well planned an executed. Lighting on the wheat is exceptional as is the composition. Perfect focus - must have been no wind at all (assuming it was done outdoors.) Backgroun sky and stars are the final great touch. You should score very high - but the competition is truly tough this time.

Very interesting composition. Great color combinations. It was probbaly not possible, but would be nice if the petal closest to the lens was in focus.
