I like the photo, and your expression, and the composition. I'd love to see it without the veil obscuring your eyes though.

Great twist to a portrait. Gives the shot a nice texture.

I like the look in the models eyes - just not sure I like the netting in front of her. Composition is good. Lighting is fine expect for where it reflects off the pendant.

Heather, is that you? Nice shot but could use a bit more creative lighting. Move your main light more to the side to add depth to the shot and this would be tres cool!

Interesting choice - the veil - beautiful face, well exposed and well lighted. One bothersome detail is the necklace that is IMO overblown and distracts - draws attention from the eyes and the face, and then dissapoints when I finally look at it as it is soft, and without any detail.
It is almost to the point of being better without it. (or if you had pearls, they would not reflect as much light as metallic jewelry.)

Very striking, very pretty. An excellent way to distinguish yourself in portrait.
Technically - well lit, lovely features shown well through the lace. My only complaint is the brightness of the necklace, but not enough to lower my score

I'm not really keen on the veil, I think it makes the photo quite hard to look at, due to all the patterns.

A little too overexposed and the lace is distracting. maybe if you had done it a bit farther away in black and white as a profile with the lace hanging down it would have made it more interesting.

Very nice effect. I might have preferred to see the crop not so low on your head.
