Wow this shot is amazing! I really can't see why you didn't score higher in the ranking!

Your photo is technically flawless, the exposure is absolutely perfect. As well as the focus and sharpness. Even the composition is brilliant. It seems a small percentage of viewer's lowered your score due to the arm being distracting. Although to me it is definately an extremely minor element compared to the rest of the image.

You really nailed the challenge in this shot, as well as took an extremely compelling image. I am drawn into the photo by the shadows of the lace as well as her deep eyes.

Honestly I can't recommend any changes to the photograph, with possibly the exception of eliminating the arm from the shot to appease the viewer's it bothered. Besides that I think you mastered this photograph as well as the challenge and can only say I personally think you deserved a better score! Good luck in future challenges!

Interesting idea. Just like henna, but you can't get rid off that in an instant. :)

the arm is a bit of a distraction - nice portrait besides that.

good luck.

A wonderful expression captured here.The shadow on the side of the face works really well. I wonder, though, whether some could be cropped off the left of the frame.

I love this shot! Great focus on the eye, outstanding pattern on the cheek. I wish my daughter would hold still long enough for me to attempt something like this. <9>
