This was one of my top picks...(which is obviously why it didn`t finish as highly as it should.)
My apologies for jinxing you :)

This will get voted down because of size..which is a great pity because it is one of the best concepts in the challenge for me.

I was going to try this image with my daughter but opted out at the last minute as portraiture is not my speciality..and after seeing this, I`m glad I did!!
A captivating blend of softness and clarity with a masterly use of light.
It`s got a 10 from me

I like this shot..the twisted shape of the fence is quite intriguing and compositionally, I can`t fault it...you have divided it up well with the fence making a nice diagonal to divide the image neatly.
I would love to have seen the fence as the main subject with the background softly blurred by the use of shallow DOF as I think it competes for attention because of the reflections.
This however, is my personal taste and in no way reflects on the quality of the image...very nice work.
