I think this image would work better if the woman weren't looking at the camera. Other than that, it's a good picture.

Having a studio, props, models and lighting is one thing...making good use of them another and you certainly did that here, the way this is lit has made the picture for me.It would have been so easy to ruin it, but you have made a superb job with your attention to detail.

In my opinion the only reason this is not a blue ribbon is that there may not have been enough "Fairy Tale" connection for some.

Very well done.

Congratulations again and keep at it for you will be able to get all the ribbons you want, you know, it is also a matter of timing, but stick to it, your work is just awesome.
