Nice idea to use the columns to frame the bride. Very nice pose, as well. Seems a bit tilted to the left. The feathered edge in combination with the thin white border seems to clash a bit. I would have done one or the other. This might also look good as a duotone or selective desat. 7

Strong points: You've done a great job of coping with the bald white sky. By introducing lots of white from the flloor and the columns - you mitigated the terrible sky. Pose is excellent. I'm not much of a fan of the fading borders - but this is one that works well. Exposure could not be better - a real task with all the white.

Gorgeous! If you aren't doing weddings for a living -- at least now you should you know you ought to be. This is perfect. I like the misty border too. 10

Great shot here, nice to see her moving rather than just standing still. Not too sure about the border though. 8

A nice shot which has been let down by the fade left & right.

What a pretty shot, the framing of the bride, the pose, the lighting. The way you lightened around the edges is well done but around her head is just a bit too light, she almost ends up blending into the background there. A 9

10!! Fabulous picture. I love the fading on the sides, it really does draw the viewer into your beautiful subject.

Originally posted by robm: sorry grigrigirl its a great photo indeed but somehow it has a sterile quality..too posed maybe,too academicly photographed.the other nudes in your portfolio are far more better some are exquisite. congratulations on your ribbon but my first place choice would have been different in this challenge.

actually...i rather agree. This is the only time Ive posed someone. In her case..she was not willing to lounge around nude and let me have my way with the camera. So..this one pose was it. Otherwise, I had no nude that week.
