Very compelling portrayal. I like the centredness, the light in her hair and it blowing and all the spaces. There are many fine entries in this challenge, but if I had to chose one to take home I think this would be it. (A later edit might remove or blend the vertical bracnch at the top of her head, but that's all).

Nice shot

I can't handle her hair blowing out. Otherwise, nice capture.

I like the use of light to emphasize her pure white hair.

What a wonderful searching expression. The soft focus works beautifully here. The lighting is just a bit harsh and distracting on her hair - what a tragedy - because this shot has the potential of being a top contender. I also think you could have increased the contrast just a bit and helped this shot. Great capture.

buni looks a little bit concerned.

Interesting expresion. I like the close crop, although I would get rid of the dead space above her head. That would get her face off center and bring us closer in to focus on the expression. It would also give you fewer bright spots in the top of the image, which would give more detail in teh shadows of her eyes. I like the B&W/sepia treatment. It keeps us focused on her expression. Nicely done.
