By far, the best of the fairy shots in this competition. Great job on the editing - very magical.

Love the sepia tones in this one for it really adds to a feeling of nostalgia of a time long gone - and I can't put my finger on it but for some reason it projects a dreamy mood and feel. Perhaps it is because the model has a pose in which she has a serene and dreamy look in her expression or perhaps it is because of the sepia tones that projects nostalgia. Love the pose of this little fairy - it reminds me so much of the classic postcards or drawn artwork of fairies sitting on a rock or tree stump in a forest setting. Great tones and contrast here as well. One very small critique - I think shooting this at a lower angle might have worked better for the top portion of her left wing would visually pop better of a dark background like that of her right wing does. Not to mention that it would be a subtle visual of placing her "on a pedestal". Great job on the capture and the mood - 9

ethereal photo - well photographed and I like the post processing you used... I do wonder if more coppped off the bottom and one side right or left would improve the composition?

the lighting on the ground is a little bit harsh for such a delicate subject, perhaps a different time of day would've created a better lighting mood. her pose is beautiful though and i think that the centered composition works really nicely. 7

Too much contrast and/or sharpening for my taste.
