Savanah, pretending to be a bride for me. She's such a good model.

Thought you had a top-five at a minimum; voters are, once again, dumb.

This is a nice concept. The placement of the window seems unfortunate though. The middle cross is cutting her head off the body. Also, it seems as if the window was pinning the woman against the background, it is too close. Maybe this effect could have been prevented by her holding the frame with her hands.

This is pretty cool, must remember this trick the next time I photograph a wedding. Is it traditional though to take pictures of just the bride? Here in Iceland, that is not the case, all photos are of both the bride and groom together, just wondering what is the "norm" where you come from. 9 from me, awesome shot and well lit, technically this is perfect.

A good job of cloning out the support lines for the window. Possibly a bit more light on the background, or pull them further away to reduce the shadows.

Her overexagerated expression works in the quirkiness of the window suspended in mid air. Really cute. I like the white on white monochromatic theme of this. Bumping up.

this one is unique compared to most pictures in this challenge. i dont understand why she is dressed as a bride, though.

Damned sweet!!! "10" The various shades of white, eggshell, antiqueness vs. the newness, the blending and fades thruout.....This has got to be a ribbon winner!! I'd kill to shoot something like this!! I'd frame it and put it in my house today....even tho I don't know her!!! Excellent job!!! Did I say "10" already?? I'd give it an "11" if it were available. Maybe I should contact the SC. :O)

Good idea, but her expression on her face is not good enough for me. The Colors are good an lighting also fine

I really like the skewed composition and pose of your subject. The soft lighting is very nice. Some shadows being cast but still nice overall... my vote is a 7

I like the way the window frame is floating around. Nice high-key-like photo and great framing. I'm not sure about the look on her face, but that might be the reason to look at her a bit longer than usual :) 9

Hummmmm, wonder who's shot this is?

Nice idea but I'm not to sure about the white on white, the back of the veil disappears into the background and the framing around the model seems a bit off for some reason, the way the (her) left breast and shoulder are in the bottom frame with the bit of arm is a bit distracting to me. And the angle that her head is tilted at looks most uncomfortable, I know when I've put my daughter in this position her first complaint is that she can barely breath, but that might just be her complaining because I'm making her pose again, LOL. :) And her hands look so empty and almost akward to me, like she's not quite sure what to do with them. A bouquet would have done wonders for this, some white flowers to continue with the whole white theme.

Also there seems to be a dark shadow to the right of the model, possibly hers but I see no evidence of window frame shadow. And the condition of the frame compared to the bride really bothers me, maybe you were going for the something old idea with the frame compared to her but it's so dirty and icky looking compared to that pure white dress it just make me shudder a bit if it were to accidently touch the dress.

Nice job on the window hanging, can't see how it's holding up at all, well done there. It's a nice shot but the best I can offer at this point is a 5, maybe I'll be back to bump it up later.

Interesting idea, but the frame takes away from the model.

Nice technique and model, good composition, but it looks a bit fake/forced.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/24/2006 08:00:41 PM
Excellent

Nifty idea, perfectly lit and exposed, but I kinda don't like her cut off at the neck - maybe an angle that includes just a tad bit of the shoulder.

Persimmontastic!

I like the textures of the frame but wonder why an old frame? Minus one point for making me think :(

+ all other points for everything else - composition, lighting, skewed window frame. One could say "You're pretty good at this." Yes, one could say that and not be wrong in the least.
