her pose and expression fit the composition perfectly (I suppose most people would say that in reverse). 7

This is an excellent shot! I would realy like to see some post processing on this! The whites are a bit to blue in hue for me and a simple vinette would really bring this together. Feel free to PM me if you'd like an example. It would take very little time if you're interested :0)
Awesome job! :0)

It's an "ok" photograph. The composition is fine as far as her positioning, but the POV for the photographer (looking down) is taking away from the impact. Probably this choice was made because of distracting bg objects, but still, it would nice to see more of her face and especially her eyes. Considering this challenge is running under advanced rules you could have cloned out that chair leg in the top right, and removed the distracting black blob in the lower left. All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

This seems to me like a "found" moment, where you happened to see the girl in a good spot and took the shot. Unfortunately, it's also a "lost" opportunity. The row of chairs and costume could have worked great if you had only taken it one step further: ask the girl to slump over with her chin in her hands and look directly into the camera with a sad, lonely expression. That would immediately communicate your concept. Then crop it slightly to lose the dark shape at bottom left and crop or clone out the stray leg at top right. Warm morning or late afternoon lighting would have added about a point to the score. As it stands now, I'd guess the dull lighting and lack of expression in a challenge that specifically called for it is probably keeping your average somewhere around a 5. Next time, you'll know. ;-)

...and hopefully he won't turn into a frog! Tell your parents they did a good job with their photo of you. Maybe they could make is just slightly brighter next time. Just a thought.

Colour is a bit washed out but I really like the story told in this single photo!

May be improved by removal of blue color cast. Nice composition

Nice concept. If she was looking up a tad more I would appreciate this a few points more. I'd also have cloaned out the leg of the chair at the top.

It is a good idea. Not sure if I like the compositional elements. A bit blue. It would be interesting to see the outtakes from this one.

Pretty. Wish the angle was more on her level, she has a great face and emotion and I would like a better view.
