Ah, interesting comment and explanation about the small space. It was 8 from me and, what happens to me always with good pictures I look at them a lot longer and with a much more critical eye . In context it should have been a 10 cum laude. Does not seem too democratic but one always stops in a museum for longer looks or go faster.
I think that because of the advanced editing you should have gone drastic about the cropping, cut the toe, rotate a bit to the right and have her left hand go high, or crop her right hand that is less expressive and clearâ€Â¦
Her posture and left hand and dress are so wonderful, the streaming light so perfect, some dust, the angle formed by the ceiling in a perfect place ... that it might be enough to crop her entire right arm, dress and toe (the shadow to appear might be too much and take the focus on the light).
A blue ribbon yes.
And for yourself you might tweak it since it's a fabulous image.
