There's a quietness to this picture that is captivating. Nice highlights and detail.

One of my highest rated photographs in this challenge. Superb lighting on a lovely model. You know how to shoot a beautiful portrait. Good Luck!

Nicely lit and great model, but there is noticable banding in the skin color

***greetings from the critique club***

(I'm writing this before I read the comments and score...)

These are thoughts as they occur to me.

#1 Good strong lines. Is this wise given the theme of fantasy?
#2 The overall darkness does not lend itself to a fantastic approach unless you wish to appear devilish.
#3 The vinegetting is unfortunate.
#4 More toning would fit the DPC style better: blacker darks and brighter whites.
#5 Great lines (did I already say that?). The lines are strong, but the meaning of the title is that dreams go wrong. Do these two elements go together well?

I like this entry and would have voted it a 6. Why not higher? It's too dark for a fantasy image.

Great title, cause that's what it is - classic. Great lighting and DOF. I like that you did not clone or Neat Image away some of the imperfections in teh skin - makes it a "real" picture. Very nicely done!
