Daniel,
Let me be one to say that I didn't vote on your photo because I thought you colored the eyes in PS.

I have no clue if you did or not, but I didn't vote you at 10 because I didn't know. Sorry.

I would have gave you a 10, as this is an extraordinary photo.

The fans with it's diagonal placement help to frame the face and puts focus on the eyes. The desaturated image except for the beautiful blue hue in the eyes really makes this interesting. The depth of field and focus on the eyes also helps. The only change I would make here is to use a fan without the flower pattern. it kinds of takes a little away from the eyes and a tiny bit distracting. "9"

Grabbing eyes, great photo.
Good composition, like the diagonal, makes it much more interesting. The addition of the stuff in the lower right corner is a good choice imho, when I think about the photo without it it somehow seems a lot duller.

Wonderfull! One of my very favorits! Very mystic with great clarity. The selective decoloration works like magic her. Hope you win. good luck.

Greetings from the CC, what a delicate subject you have chosen! The monochromatic feel IMO certainly gives a simplicity and a focus to the bubbles. The sharpness of the foreground bubble is excellent, demonstrated in the clarity of the window reflection, a lovely detail that I am glad was lefy in the shot. The composition is also delightful the lower bubble behind and the amount of emptiness in the top half of the shot work very well together to be pleasing. I like the sharp bubble being on the left (vs. right often where 'focus' is). Mostly the solid blue background and the disappearing bubble in the back really do add a feeling of depth to your photo..which is exactly IMO what the challenge asks for... well done, and glad the voters rewarded you accordingly..keep shooting!
