Comment by CNovack:
Absolutely love the mood and color tones in this shot. The expectant bride silhouetted against the sunset sky and ocean is wonderful - makes me think of the old stories of the bride or wife waiting for her sailor to come home. In my opinion, the sunset adds a touch of sadness because it means another day gone without him coming home. I like this photo but I think that there is one more improvement that would move this into an exceptional category. The biggest suggestion is to have her stand up so that we see her full shilouetted form - the bottom half of her body gets lost in the rocks. It is only by her veil that we come to know that she is an expectant bride. Showing her standing there in a wedding dress with the wind blowing the veil would make the connection much more visually stronger.

Looking Forward...

Nice portrait. Her expression is great. A tighter crop would have been nice. Her left hand also appears to be in an unnatural position. She has a greenish cast on her skin.

Looking Forward...

Nice setting for this portrait. It almost seems too smoothed-over for my taste. I think more texture would add to the photo, but the PP you chose definitely gives it a more dreamy feel.

Looking Forward...

She seems very stiff and posed. I might've zoomed in and concentrated more on her and less on the surroundings. She's lovely and a closer look might really do her justice.
