 I'm entering it anyway. I love this photo. The subject loves the photo. Everyone I have ever shown this picture too loves the photo.

Its one photo - glow filter, some burning to bring the bride out of the glow, B&W convert. Thats pretty much it. Yes, entering something completely non-superdooper edited in an Expert-Editing Free Study.

I love it. It makes me happy, and I want it in my permanent portfolio here.

I've always been fascinated by the Daphne myth. I'm a little distracted by the sunglasses, though.

What a fun bridal pic! Love the magical quality of it all. The glasses give it a matrix feel lol. I hope she likes it.

I like that she is an extension to the trunk.

Wow, this is a heavily cool image, not quite a 10 from me but I gave it a 9, one of the best in the challenge, definately!

This is oddly wonderful. I think if I were to change a thing, I'd take off the glasses. For some reason they don't suit the mood for me.

that's a funny idea! I especially like her sunglases and the lighting!

Very Jerry Uelsmann like. It would work much better if you blended the bottom of the dress into the branches. Good job all around

now that's a different wedding shot. great idea, nice "magic" lighting. The sunglasses add a touch of irony.

i think i would like this more if she knelt down or crouched a bit so the dress flowwed into the shape of the stump better, and if she wasn't wearing the sunglasses, and if she held her arms more like branches or something.

Nice composition, but the light through the trees is a little overpowering.

Awesome image, very surreal. Not so much digging the sunglasses as I feel they kind of take away from it a bit, but that's just me. Otherwise, pretty stellar idea. 8
