Would have liked the picture to match the title, she does not appear smiling or happy in her eyes. Is a lovely picture and I think well worth bumping up in score.

This looks like one of librodo's shots. The symbolic connotations of the girl's pose really add a lot to this already strong image. The texture of the lace and wings make the image look slightly over-sharpened. The high-key lighting has washed out a lot of the tonal detail on her face (the symbolic differences between the lighting techniques would have been interesting too; making the light fade from light on one side to dark on the other would have been interesting as well, regardless of which side was lighter). Personally I'd have rather seen a lower-key version with more detail in her face. The lighting is a touch flatter than I'd like. Having said that, this is still my top pick for the ribbon in this challenge. Nicely done.

is this a fantasy? the cool thing about this challenge is that it forces you to see other fantasies and accept them. can't really argue with this challenge.. background is actually cooler than the overexposed subject. but brave attempt.
