For what it's worth, I'd prefer to see (at this website) a pretty face with 'accessories' like you have chosen to photograph for this challenge. I wondered why the photograph that won the blue ribbon did so well. I gave it a 9 because it was, after all, a good photo but then I looked again and said 'Ohh..those are why' I gave your photo a 10 and hope you keep trying new dimentions like this...thanks.

brilliant, pity that she does not look into camera ... but this gives some other emotion, like dreaming/thinking/doubting :-)

For me you lived up to your own set challenge, her skin and eyes look very natural. Good scoring a 10, but i liked this one even better (top 5).

Very nicely set up shot.
Your serious endeavor paid off and I'd be stoked if I could take as good a shot!
