 Shot taken at a town fair and I didn't have this challenge in mind. She was plaing a bride in a play. THe background is a cloudy sky. Tought it would suit well as a high-key picture and for this challenge as she is well decorated with bits and pieces.

Adjustments in RAW, then curves, levels, crop & USM

Whoah. I'd give this a ten, but don't quite see the Bits and Pieces. Stunning image, though.

A very interesting image. A lot of white!

this is a great shot and i like all of the effort that went into it. i would suggest, however, that in a situation such as this you whiten up the model's teeth a bit so that they blend back into the photo instead of being so prominent.

Very original object...love how you play with white.

I like the idea, but the sloppy lipstick job and the white lashes ruin it for me

Well, it's certainly an interesting photo...I'm wondering about the make-up application?

I like the high-key here, works well

An interesting high-key! I think it would work even in black and white.

it's a lovely photo, but a real stretch to meet the challenge

I like this type of shot, but it doesn't say bits and pieces to me. Her partial lipstick (maybe something culteral?) bothers me.

Boy George goes high key??? I'm really confused. It's not geisha, it's not Princess Anne. The photo isn't that bad, sorry, but what is it???
