 Dear I.Cem,
Thanks for your submission to the contest and welcome to UWP.
You have requested a review of your photo. Let me shortly explain how it works :
As we do have a limited space for each post here, please note that my review will be like 2-3 posts in total. If you want to answer me, please wait until my review has been completed; as photo critics, we do this job as volunteers; a "thank you" is always appreciated 
My review is structured into chapters and I will list problem zones (if there are any) and I will suggest solutions on how to improve results.
Important : The "photo critic" feature here at UWP is not a putdown of uw photos. The objective is to see you here as a winner one day !
For the basics (in case of), an uw photography online course is available here at UWP and it's always a good idea to sign up for that one.
And here we go ! (Photo review starts with next post) :

Photo Critique :
First impression :
Nice colour for an abstract picture !
Technical ( score from 1-6, best is 6 ) :
Exposure : 3, Colours: 4, Sharpness: 3, DOF ( depth of field ) : 4, Contrast : 4
Suggested Solution :
Because it's clearly an abstract picture, it's difficult to talk about technical aspects. It's more the feeling that makes me talk. I like it but for me it should be more sharp.
A work in post production (contrast, lighting,…) could be tested, but because of the nature of the picture I do want to write more in that part :-).

Composition :
A not centred subject in a vertical frame : good
Suggested Solution :
We have the impression to have the half part of the pic, but it's not disturbing.
The black part on the left, the red in the middle and the yellow lines on the right give a nice feeling.
Simple subjects can give good results as we know.

Subject
Nice subject for your abstract choice !
Suggested Solution :
Your pic is already shortlisted, so what can I add :-).
In fact, the title you give to your picture is a good one ! We clearly can imagine an ear (in black) and red hair…. I'd like to meet this women :-).

Epilogue
Welcome again to UWP and congratulations for your shortlisted pic !
For sure, your picture provokes a reaction and a feeling to the spectator, and that's more than half of the way to have a shortlisted pic.
With a simple colourful subject and an original idea of compostion you prove that we can have an interesting picture. Well done.
I’m looking forward to see your next post.
All the best and happy bubbles.
