Very nicely done.

i love the sense of space and the impact it has on the portrait.

Nice self portrait!

Don't worry about the score so much, it's more important to communicate what you believe than to try and and score well.

An interesting model and photo ... better I think with a bit more detail.

I like that you set her off center...for me this makes this much more appealing, here is one more thing to "think" about...gaussian blur...just a bit more to put a soft glow on her...and wow this would be a very powerful picture (it is already)

Nice perspective and the interesting having a Braille tower depicted.
The main building, however, seems to have round facade, which might hurt you with DNMC.

flower blown, eyes too blue though I think you are right keeping them in colour is a good thing. Execution wise thats my opinion but that is matter of taste rather than pure technical judgement.

Everything else I think is good, its good composition and the emotion is haunting.

You probably scored lower in this because of the selective desaturation I'm guessing folks who like the image composition and would have scored it 6 or 7 dropped a mark.

If I had voted (and I don't in challenged I've entered) I would have given it 7 then maybe bumped it to 8 if I wanted it to win.

I thought this was adorable and gave you a 7. I didn't really like the partial desat though so you would have gotten a higher score from me without it.
