Greetings from the critique club!
This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I like the mood you captured in the shot and old feeling/style which really works well with the subject. The glow is alright in my books and the lighting, while bright does give it a "glamour" look in my opinion.
The border, however, is a little thick and detracts from the image. The main purpose of a border is to signal the viewer that the image is done and not to keep looking outside the frame. With that in mind, I'd say that a border wasn't necessary. Also, you are limited with the image size. The big border you used took a significant portion of what you had to work with away from you. Generally speaking, the bigger the image, the easier it is for the viewer to appreciate. |

| Beautiful use of soft focus -- looks like a vintage glamour shot. Fits the subject perfectly. A high vote from me. |

| The lighting has changed the aspect of this camera. There is so much reflection that it looks like a modern machine instead of an antique. Now, that being said, at least you attempted something different than the traditional b&w or sepia...so kudos there. |

| Like the over all feel of the image, but would have preferred it if the camera wasn't upside down. |
