 What fun I had reading through a lot of the Brothers Grimm tales to find the one I like and an idea jumped into my strange head and then this was born. Many thanks to Stacey Andrews for posing (with mask), and thanks to my wife, my son, the man upstairs and my landlord.

I cannot belive it did not even make it in the top 10. I am surprised to say the least.

Nice finish MAK - I am surprised it didn't get at least top 10. This is outstanding stuff and has just the feel I was thinking about for Brothers Grimm...

I thought this might have been you :D This was one of my 10s as well. Should have finished higher. It looks like it came right out of a storybook. Excellent job with the setup and processing. This is a very cool shot for the challenge.

I hope others are liking the PP here as much as I am. It's a daring move, but one I would risk, I think, since it looks like a drawing in a fairy tale book. :)

This is unusual, really quite groovy; I'm not keen on the patterned carpet, it clashes with her shawl a lot but the overall colour scheme is good and the light is well done.
