| while reading the other comments, I saw every adjective that came to my mind when looking at this marvelous photo...haunting, stunning, alluring, beautiful....like another person who commented...I would have never guessed your model was only 14. A simply beautiful shot....Kevin |

| Hi Mak, great shot - however one little nit pick - on my wide gamut monitor there is a very noisy silver of green shading to the left side of the model, just near her veil. Cant see it on a standard monitor so guess its not a problem - and you did ribbon .. well done. |

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... |

| In general, an elegant portrait which is very powerful and nicely composed. However, the highlights on the lips and reflections in the eyes are not necessarily a positive - a more matte type lip stick would have reduced the reflection and the resultant glare. Same issue with the eyes, as the reflections detract from the image's impact - in particular on the right where it's located right over the pupil. On the other hand, the lighting is very effective in conveying a senes of mystery and intrigue. Given the minor highlight issue, this is a very worthy entry into the challange and should place high. |

| This is really beautiful. What distracts me about this photo is that her nose is too soft, when it should'nt be. I think this will ribbon! |

| This has more than a wow factor. Everything about it is perfect. Almost 3-D. I feel as though I could reach and touch that velvet shroud and make her blink. WOWZA |
