Crips this photo is very textured,lol. Nice. Wow factor is up there

Suggestion: remove the border 'cause it's fighting to bleed to black... so let it. Good job.

You know I was about to give this photo a 4, but I would've been really retarded. The title supports the photo and it is so true...perfect timing.

Sharp...the clarity of each strand of hair is really nice.

Dark Beauty in "The Village" would be a nice title too

Suggestion?...a little less light would have been interesting to see so the shimmer of light around the eyes and lips would be more prominant, while the figure is in shadows.

Very pretty though...

Ohhhhh, I think we have a challenge, lol. I saw a photo with the same concept Last rays of hope before darkness, I think. I still remember it 'cause it was nice, but this I'm afraid is nicer. The contrast of light and dark is shaper...literally. The light cuts through and is battling to remain.

Subject form....check. Composition....check....The gradation from black to white....priceless.

Hopefully it is not implied that in marriage there will be days of darkness such as this, lol. Nice shot.

Awwwww, so sad. Why do I hear music from beauty and the beast?...lol.
The .75 border line is a nice touch; very subtle...

Quickly, in the shed.THE SNAILS ARE COMING!!! Nice.
Suggestion though...try tweaking the levels of the photo; it helps when there's a nice gradation from black to white. Rev up the levels to get areas of pure black in the photo. Interesting photo.

Oh My......I don't even know if that qualifies as a comment, but it really sums up what I think, lol. My score for this photo supports my response. I won't be suprised at all if this photo gets "tied" up, lol. Wonderful.

Can I take a guess and say this final result is a combination of multiple exposures, 'cause if it's not....motion sickness but in a good way, lol. What makes me think so, are the trees that are very well lit to the left...they look suspect. Nevertheless, well done.

Last rays of hope.. after that its all dark
