Lioness Rampant

I don't know the tale, but your photo tells me one, let me tell you it. :-)

First of all, I love the duality of the photo. The armour has strength and it's hard, she is the one who is ready to fight and die for her homeland. But under her heavy armour, she is a woman with full of sensuality (being nude under the armour makes me feel this). Maybe her family was killed and she is having revenge, but deep in her heart she has true love for a man. That's the story your photo tells me, and therefore I love it a much! Technical presentation is great, too, lighting, composition and B&W works well. Good luck! :-)

I prefer the B&W version, it's soooo emotive, and use of negative space works very well. Congrats on a well-deserved blue!

This could be a nice shot as for the composition,but it was ruined technically... :-( I just would have removed that leaves from her (his?) eye, the photo should be very much sharper and lighter.

DOF and composition is excellent, but I doesn't feel much soul in this shot, due to the rigid plastic toy. She doesn't really look like Alice for me, I would imagine her as a pink faced blond girl with wonderful a dress. This could be a top shot with a blond little girl! :-) Now I am really in trouble with voting... :-(

Prince Charming of the 21st century, LOL. :-) No white horse, just a white Ferrari and stuff... Creative, modern implementation of the challenge, selective desaturation is really expressive! Good luck. :-)
