Comment by Bear_Music:
I don't understand this placement :-( I was the lone 10... Really well done and viscerally surreal.

I really like the object, but find the tree a bit distracting because I either am wishing it were gone or more prominent. Still a great effort and one I hope does well.

Comment by willem:
I don't know what "over it all" means ? (and google did not help) Something like "had enough"? I am trying to understand the reason, the message, for editing out the head. I see a simple, strong, honest image that is trying to express something, but I don't just get it.

Nice colours and lines but it seems to be about the effect only.

Comment by willem:
A pity in my view that you went for an image from the same series as your previous blue ribbon from the "portrait with closed eyes" challenge and did not submit and make something different. That having been said, I'll judge it on its merits: One of the best ones in this challenge in my view. For this challenge, this one is even better than your previous winner image from the portrait challenge. The light follows and brings out the shape of her face very well, with good highlights and shadows to show the depth. There is still quite some details in her cheek and neck but it is also dark enough to not draw attention and to show it is further away from the viewer. I like the use of water as well. Top 5.
