I also hoped this would do better. Top 40% though. Great work.

This is such a neat image. I love the coarse texture of the clay/sand (?) against the daydreamy watery sky. 9, just-married

Ghost in the Machine

Very cool concept. Excellent DOF. I wish there weren't a glare over your face, but it doesn't ruin it for me. Good shot. 7, just-married

I had some help on this one. I had to turn the brightness on my monitor to it's max in order to see this reflection. I don't know if it's my monitor that's off or yours, but perhaps when the challenge is over you can start a thread in the forums using your photo as an example for gamma settings or monitor calibration? Anyway, good shot, though I wish the reflection were stronger. 6, just-married

This is well executed and technically perfect in my opinion. The only thing it lacks for me is appeal. good job though. 7, just-married

Reflections on a Single Past

UPDATE:
This definitely made it to a 9 for me. Great work. 9.

ORIGINAL COMMENT:
Recently married then? Congrats! I like this image. The B/W decision is a good one. I like the use of negative space and the way the darkness kind of hugs your hands. Okay, it's not an exact reflection in the sense of creating a replica in a reflective surface, but it meets the challenge in two ways for me: 1) reflection in the sense of thought given to a topic -- this image shows reflection on the changes marriage brings to a life. 2) It mimics mirror reflection as defined above, which I think is a creative interpretation of the challenge. Well done. 8-9, just-married (That means I'll be tweaking this score one way or the other later.)

Absolutely gorgeous. One of my two favorites this week. I love the tones, the mist, the light in the sky. 10, just-married
