Love the shot, and find the comments you have gotten very interesting. There is a lot to learn here on dpc, not the least about people and how they think. Luckily, there is the saying: Each to his own :)
Some of the best photographers in the world would never ever score high here on dpc, never get a ribbon. I have a feeling they would not care for high scores or ribbons. For them, photography is not about that, it is about art. The same goes in many fields. A good cook can make a gorgeous dinner out of almost nothing and does not need the "best" pots and pans to succeed.
Of course it is fun to score high, and most of us feel how it tickles our self-esteem. I was happy when my became a PB and later I got a ribbon, but in my opinion that shot is a bit boring. In fact my lowest score, my brown ribbon, is one of my favourites.
Keep up the good work, you are an excellent photographer and your learning curve is like a Boeing just after take-off. I wonder why?
:)
Edit: Got to do something about my splellign...

Til hamingju með háu einkunnina.
Nú ætla ég að vera oggulÃÂtið leiðinlegur, en bara pinkulÃÂtið. Mér finnst þetta mjög skemmtileg pæling en þessi flass lýsing er eitthvað svo leiðinleg. Ég hef tekið eftir þvàað þú notar oft flass beint á myndefnið sem skapar þennan leiðinlega flass glama og harða skugga. Ég mæli með að þú kaupir þér þráðlausan sendi, regnhlÃÂf og stand og kannski eina bók um lýsingu úr þannig búnaði. Þegar þú ert komin upp á lagið með þann búnað átt þú pottþétt eftir að taka muun betri myndir. Þú gætir lÃÂka búist við hærri einkunnir fyrir það. Ef þú nennir þvàekki gætir þú lÃÂka farið að nota hið undursamlega sólarljós (sem þú hefðir samt ekki getað gert àþessu myrkri). Það er hægt að taka magnaðar myndir með sólarljósinu, maður verður bara að finna góðar aðferðir til þess.
Ég vona að þetta skilaboð komir þér einu skrefi nær heimsfrægð : ) |

One of the best in the challenge for me.
I love the light and also the contrast between the skin tones and blue of the water.
Has the look of a magazine pic.
In trying to work out why this didn`t finish in the top ten, I can only assume that some voters have concentrated on the title as your look seems to be one of concentration rather than enjoyment.
A minor point which should not have detracted from a truly excellent shot.
Well done. |

| Lighting is just a touch harsh, imo. Great colors and composition. I'm thinking that I'd prefer it if you had been looking right at me. Still one great shot. |

very nice picture. Good bokeh to the background water. Hot spot on the forehead is a bit distracting and only a personal issue I'm sure.
As for the title, not sure it fits as it looks more like you're swimming in tears by the look on your face. |

| Great character capture of a poker face! The pretty head with its pensive look shows not the enjoyment of the moment but rather an unresolved preoccupation. I take it as enjoying the water to facilitate contemplation. With this viewpoint the image takes a special light! 7 |

| This in no way looks like a self portrait. I can't really figure out what sort of mindstate would make someone take a selfportrait that would look like this and that's what I like about it plus beautiful ladies in water never hurt |
