Look whose photograph I get to critque? Judy, you're an inspiration!
As soon as I look at this photograph, the first thing that strikes me is how different it is! Next, the attention is drawn to your eyes, which are well lit and in focus.
Composition wise, as you mentioned in your photographers comments, the branch is obscuring the eyes, which are the key focal points of your entry. If they were leading to the eyes, but not obscuring them, I feel it would have worked better.
You've not mentioned the aperture used, I wonder if using more depth of field could've brought the branch in focus too.
I like the lighting on the face, but seems a little harsh on the hand.
Your image size is only 74KB, which is half of the maximum allowed. I would recommend using something close to 150KB, to mimise compression artifacts and preserve detail.
Overall, I like the photograph and think it should've placed higher. Keep up the good work!
