The Bubbles (bluish outline and whitish reflective spots) are especially distracting around her nose and mouth area. It's a nice concept, but it isn't working for me.

More subjective than anything, but it simply doesn't appeal to me.

Thrashed

Comment:
Details in light and dark areas seem to be minimal (4 for technical alone.) I do need to make this comment... There are certain subjects that I hate to see used for Challenge set-ups, especially those about human tragedy. Spousal abuse, child abuse/exploitation, and suicide are 3 of the biggies. If she had an open bottle next to her for "Smashed" or "Trashed", it would have been not good, but a beaten wife on her wedding day??? My thinking may still be stuck "in the box" from the middle ages, but this is too "out of the box" for me.

I'm going to apologize to the photographer for reacting before checking on the Title. It turns out that it really was a Trashed Wedding Gown, not Thrashed. I'll not feel sorry for my stand on using human tragedy to win contests unless it's photojournalism, but I do feel badly if my comments spoiled what was a fun shoot.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! One of my Faves, Amy - how wonderful that others feel the same way. It's a beautiful creation.

There may be more famous Lighthouses, but living in the state with the most lighthouses (along 3000 miles+ of coastline, and accessible) is a blessing, isn't it?

The hard part isn't the Wintery shooting conditions, it's the driving conditions in Winter trying to get to the Lighthouses that limits us. Lucky (and smart!) you living where you do. Beautiful (and powerful) shot. Congratulations.
