Very fun shot! Great expression and capture of the hair in motion. Only thing bothering me is the yellowish background and halos around the arms (? from over sharpening?). It could be due to a WB issue and could be remedied easily especially since this is advanced editing rules.

Lots of life in this shot. Did you try other background colors? Sometimes white gets boring.

I'm doing everything in my power to resist saying, "Nice hooters" based on the shirt. Ok, I definitely won't say that... :) Cute girl... strange glow around parts of her arm/hand though.

James/Jimi, don't be discouraged by the low score. This is a group that votes tough -- it can take some getting used to. FYI, I passed on voting for this photo.

I notice the eyes look a little red, though that's probably just an illusion caused by the red on the mask. To me the bigger negative is the glare on the mask.

Part of me really likes the composition and then part of me would like to see the rest of the eye in the frame, though I don't find that to be an issue with this shot. As stated by the previous commentors, the eyes are lacking focus. I'm sure it has to do with the fact you had to use a slow shutter because of the available lighting but the main focus in portraits tend to be the eyes, moreso in the case of closeup portraits such as this. I would have voted this between a 5 or 6 as is but if the eyes were sharp it would have been a 7, maybe an 8. Hope that helps!

I think a different crop to let the mask take up the frame and better focus on the eyes may have helped. Hope you didn't mind but I did a quick edit to illustrate what I'm trying to say.
