Voted earlier coming back to comment now.

I really like the action of the scene - Cinderella in her white ballroom gown rushing to get away before the spell breaks. Her hair is all aflutter and she has gathered up her dress so that she can run better. We can see the one leg with the shoe - tis a shame the other is not visible so that we can see that the foot is bare. Cinderella is very prominent in the scene especially with the dynamic contrast of the white popping off the very dark backdrop. Because of the backdrop being dark and Cinderella's flight keeping a hold on my eye's focus, I almost missed the detail of the lost shoe in the back. I think the composition would be much stronger if her bare foot had been visible and mayhap have a bit more light to illuminate the lost shoe.

Nice shot and drama, but could not find a relevant nursery rhyme or fairy tale, so knocking off 3 for DNMC...

This isn't a nursery rhyme or fairy tale. I am aware you are portraying Cinderella...but the challenge description does state "Your title should reference the work you are depicting."

Beautiful modern Cinderella. Wish the slipper were a little more visible.

Like a Chanel #5 ad. I love the lighting on her dress (you really managed the highlights very well!), but I think lighting the shoe in the background a bit and bringing it into focus would make it clearer that she's Cinderella. Love the sense of movement!

Very nicely executed but I cannot find a reference to Midnight Rush anywhere in either nursery rhymes or fairy tales. 7

#2, tied with another.
I'm assuming the background was poorly lit on purpose. Right now it looks like you were trying to get make it look like a carriage or something more than it probably was. I gave you the benefit of the doubt else I found have knocked this down a couple of points. I don't like the look on her face because there doesn't seem to be any urgency given the title. I don't know what she's feeling, but urgency isn't it. Still gave this high marks because I thought it was better than most other entries even after my complaints.
