 I originally took this picture for the free study challenge in april but at the end of the month I had gotten bored with it and switched it out. I wasnt gonna enter this challenge but then last night, 3 people told me to submit this picture to this challenge so I did, long time since I entered, my monitor is too light so I guess this looks to dark on other monitors , dont have time to check
I also have this on deviantart

A great image. I have nothing constructive to say. I like the dark tones in the wall with the blueish cast which clash against the bright white of the dress. The pose and the facial expression are subtle but powerful. 10. Adding to favs.

I like the pose and setup, but the pp is a bit too strong for my taste. but this is a captivating photo, so I'm not decided what to think of it.

Very nice. Frame behind right shoulder a bit of a disturbance. I like the light and obviosuly a pretty model. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

NIce wedding shot, love the light, b&w need a bit of tweaking but not too bad, great texture, nice dof, nice angle, great comp, emotional, overall a very good job

Processing is good for this type of photo. This is one photo that really suffers from the 640 pixel limit, as your composition is great, but it leaves the model just a little too small. You could compensate by cropping in closer, but it hurts the comp that way too.

Great tones in the dress and skin, but the wall and far back wall are maybe just a little too heavily worked? Something seems odd there anyway.. loss of texture.. a little too dark/light in areas. Not horribly so, but it's something that distracts me from the model for some reason.

she's beautiful! Love the photo too - the third ribbon down is a little too blown out though - 1

very good composition. Its really good to see good compositions, i am sick of seeing flower with shallow DOF shot with 1.4 lense wining ribbons. Hope this photo scores high, since if it scores high people will at least think about putting effort on composition than shooting something stunning but shit on composition part (like shooting flowers with shallow DOFs).

Great one Heida. The gray tones of the walls in contrast with the hues of her skin and the dress really look fantastic. Interesting pose.

Exceptional. I loved it the first go round!!! On second review, I'm upping to a 10. I should have put it in the "perfect" arena in the first place. It truly is stuning on all levels: compositionally, colors wise, lighting, etc. WOWZA!!

How pretty!!! I love the contrast of the elegant, feminine with the old, dark, rough. She is lovely, and this is a beautiful photo.

Interesting juxtaposition of delicate looking model in a hard environment, but I do wish there would have been eye contact to convey additional emotional response. Good work.
