The Lady with the Lantern

She doesn't strike me as an imaginary creature or character so much as a human girl dressed in an outfit from times gone by. It's rural rather than fairy tale to me. That said it's a lovely image and perhaps she's looking, in surprise, at some imaginary creatures out of shot? Link to challenge is weak for me but image is strong. 7 overall.

Merlin Lives

Lovely lighting - I always feel that light filtered through tree canopies and falling to the ground in ray upon ray has a slightly unreal feel about it - just like a fairy tale. Not sure about the blue colour cast though. 7

Made me laugh and I like the way such a simple prop can suggest an entire puppet! 7

Interesting idea, low lighting works quite well.

Sleeping Beauty

Nice! Reminds me of the 1990 film version of Romeo and Juliet. Lighting seems a little harsh - the whites seem a bit blown out for my tastes. 7

Snow White

I do like shallow DOF when used well, and I like the way it's used here to isolate the poisoned apple yet still allow us to see that Snow White is definitely a modern day girl. 8

Lovely close up study. I like the grain and use of colour and toning. 8

The Princesses Pea

Simple with nice focus on contrasting textures of the pea and the cloth. 8

Runaway Cinderella

I have two favourites in this challenge, this is one of them. I like the use of shallow DOF to throw the detail of that castle out - less obvious that it's not real. I like the chosen prop - a modern day style but with that touch of glamourous glitter. Composition works for me. And how creative to see this kind of subject approached succesfully in black and white - the general assumption seems to be that fairy tale = colour. Excellent!
