I am aware that the subject would not be looking at the back of her own head, however, I included the subject in the second shot to show what actually was on the other side of her...I believe many may have just made up a vision for the second photos..I wanted to show the actual vision instead. Unfortunately this has cost me in the score. I started really well..high 6's/7's but the second day I dropped a full two points...obviously the forums persuasion of the order and the elements for the images were having a big influence on the voters. Thanks guys!!! :(

Seriously though, you had the order right - and you had a subject.
I don't really think the forum discussions had much of an impact on your score - if anything they may have helped you, since many of the top ten images were much more likely to be affected by my comments in the thread, given that they were actually further from the topic than you were, at least according to the discussion that took place.
Great photos, but I do not feel that it fits the challenge. This does not show the subjects POV. Had this been a regular diptych, I would have score a 7 or 8.
I love this diptych. However I can't give it top marks because - The second point of view should be a representation of what you envision your subject seeing.
