5.8?!? Sorry I didn't vote on this - I would've given it an 8. I like the triangle of her shoulders to the top of her head, the unblinking stare, the half-visible face. Just terrific work, David!

I like the desaturation on the model, the lighting on the have is very interesting. I like the sharpness and detail throughout the photo.

the blue tones seem to work allright here.

her eye really gets the attention. nice detail in the hair!

the only thing I think could use a bit improvement, is the expression and pose of the model. it misses some spark, and I can see her chin. maybe next time ask her to keep her chin up a little bit.

Nice tone, and great composition. Her eye really stands out, and the expression works also. Nice work.

Oh boy. Good detail in the hair in particular, something just doesn't look right here (to me). It's so centred for one, and the shadow on the face is distracting. I'm really not sure what this image is supposed to say to me.

ok start with the score - 10
Just a fantastic image, the duotone works really well and compliments the blue of the eye.
Good luck
Got to be at least top 10?
