Ah - a very interesting take on the challenge. You've added a lot of noise - which adds a lot for me - it was a great touch. But, unfortunately, the very over exposed areas on the right side of your model's face detract a lot, cancelling out the extra points you would have gotten for the noise. It seems this may have been taken in low light, making the models pupils rather dialated - another nice effect. Overall, I'd guess this will score above the middle - but not make it into the very top. Some won't like the noise.

I really like the fan - but not the top left of the frame behind the fan. The border is also a bit much.

The multi-colored web is great. Background perfect. A bit more DoF would be a great addition.

The patterns in the glass are great - clearly demonstrating backlight. There is something about the coposition that is bothering me - I think because there is just too much there.

Nice backlighting - excellent detail in the petals. Black background helps you a lot.

Great colors, nice composition, and exposure. But unfortunately - challenge details frowned on sihlouettes.
