very nice idea, almost wish to have a tighter crop here. The way the light reflects off of the water surface provided the perfect lighting - you should have made a better use of it.

A clear path to face and her right shoulder behind the glass would have been better IMO, as I tend to look into subject's eyes and faces (even with nudes).
This distorts her face unjustly so if I may add.
Good luck!

Some more light on the backdrop could have worked better. (I double-checked my monitor before commenting :)
The whole photo goes on the dark side a bit, and the black body could stand out some more if e.g. a spotlight was aimed to the backdrop right behind him, in order to provide some kind of aura around him.

Not trying to teach you how to shoot (you obviously know your photography) just trying to explain what I would have liked better. Only a 9 for this.

This one stands out - I'm not sure why, but I spent more time on it than on the majority of other shots. I think that it is the hat, and the appearance that the head is missing. An extra point for this intriguing shot.

The rectangular shadow on the right side is distracting. This would have been much much better with plain background.

Fantastic!!! you just raised the bar on yourself now. Congratulations on your well deserved ribbon. It will make the front page of DPC more beautiful and more enjoyable for the whole week.

Very nice colors - however the border serves more like an unnecessary distraction than an enhancement to this otherwise beautiful shot.

try repeating this one for the minimalist challenge, and you may end up in top 10 twice in a row!

nice shot, but a tad oversharpened. This was advanced editing, you could have selectively sharpened only the portions you were interested in, i.e. you could have skipped the branches that have this unnatural white halo around them. The squirrel itself had a potential but it got overdone too. I'll try to attribute this to your monitor and vote you higher than I would normally do for a postprocessing snafu like this one.

You had a great shot, nice composition and interesting behavior, but you ruined it with postprocessing. (I hope that you started with a good image, it would be worth posting your original in a thread after the challenge and asking for suggestions on how to process it better).
Oversharpening is evident, and serves no purpose - does not enhance the photo at all.
