Comment by K3Master:
She had had to start work at a very young age, when her mother had fallen ill and was unable to continue to feed the family. With 5 younger brothers and an infant sister, it fell upon her to make sure that they didn't starve to death.

It was with a stroke of luck that she was able to find work with the old man that ran the mill. Though he was stern and unbending when it came to her work, he was kindly enough and always made sure she was paid and didn't have to go without. So it was, that while her work was hard and the care of her family wearing, she was always known for the smile she wore as she worked away, and in time became the most well-loved girl in the village for her charm and caring.

Years later, a rich and striking young man came calling from far away, after hearing of a beautiful young woman of the strongest character, and like in all the stories, she had her Ever After.

Clever set up and editing. One of the more unique stories among the entries. Nice.

This looks like an outtake from Brothers Grimm and Cinderella. If so this would have done great in that challenge. The only problem I see with it arethe eyes are not looking at the camera. Otherwise it's a wonderful shot!

Nice job. This was very well done and the texture works for me. I really like the dark old-time feel to this.
