This is a macro of my wedding gown (I find any exuse I can to pull it out and play with it--can't wait 'till the big day when my fiancee sees it, plus I can wear it all day without people thinking I'm a vain weirdo).

I chose this shot from the bunch because I liked the layering of the different materials, the way part of it hills up to create a foreground, how the rows of buttons and beadowrk add some dimension, and the way the buttons under the sheer chiffon are evident.

In Photoshop, I cropped it a bit, adjusted the coloring ever so slightly, and tinkered with the brightness and contrast a smidge. I then formatted it to the proper sizes for submission, and turned it in.

The title captured me to open up the thumbnail; I'm glad I did. The satin glows a little hotly in the lower left and the unavoidable luster on the pearls is a tad too hot, too, but the composition, textures and sentiment won it a 9 from me. By the way, best wishes! ::smile::

I don't understand the title, but I really like the photo. the curves made by the various buttons, beads, and seams make the shot flowing and dynamic

Just doesn't fit the theme well for me because there is no contrasting "light color"

Diaper bags, joint taxes, equal sharing of chores, tv and movie watching negotiations, and before you know it, childrens graduations and weddings. I love it. Married August 5 1977 Never discussed divorce....... Murder YES! Divorce never! HAHA
