Maybe I am not clever enough to understand you title. Nevertheless a good photo. What are the patches (dirt) at both top corners ?? 6

she doesn't look backlit, it's a disturbing effect, or I'm paranoid because of the expert editing rules. anyway, I like being disturbed, and your model is a real gas. 8

This is BEAUTIFUL! Such amazing crispness for low light and a little girl who was obviously moving! One of my favorites in a challenge that is blowing me away with how awesome the entries are! 10

I don't think the sky is the central point of this photo.

This image troubles me a bit. It is so obviously a beautiful image and one of the best in the challenge, The tie in to sky is a bit of a reach but I wonder if the drama would be there if not for the richness and crop and placement of the sky itself. I think not so I'll vote as if the sky is one of the main players, which in the end it is.
A short side note... There is every possibility that there will be some negative feedback about the nature of the young subject and the pose in particular... I hope you accept it with the obvious style and class in which you presented this image. I think it's wonderful and portrays so perfectly the beauty and innocence of childhood. Man I hope I'm wrong... :)

Very cute picture of a girl in the water. Sky is not the subject here even though it is a lovely orange. The Pier has a lovely pattern and would have also been good without the girl. The girl is to centered though I see why it is done this way. Good job on filling the front of her with light. I like the reflection of the ripples.

Borderline DNMC, IMO - but a beautiful shot nonetheless :: I'm gonna guess your counting on all that sky reflecting the water to count, right? :: Seems you left a fair bit of sensor dust despite having rules wide open to anything :: A really great moment, but it would have met the challenge more if you had framed the pier along the bottom & gave us a whole lotta sky - no one could have faulted you for missing the assignment then.

This would've been just uber-cute without the dramatic background. With the pier & sphere case by the sun, this got even better. Great job!

The flowers in her hair are a nice touch.
