Ohmygoodness! This is so magical it hurts my heart to loook at it. It should have a cute overdose warning attached to it so we're prepared for the impact of it popping up on our screens :)

I love that soft glowy hair! Man. . .this is awesome!

Judi - what a delightful entry.

Such a pretty model, and truly great post processing.

The only wonder I have is whether it is perhaps too central?

But a great shot regardleass. Well Done


I did play with crops initially...but it just doesn't seem the same.

Reminds me of the Cottingley fairies - you would have fooled Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! Beautiful.

love the feel of this image - very dreamy - the brightness and softness of the grasses and the tree limbs above really add to the fairy like feel of this

  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2007 05:40:43 PM
Beautiful! I love the soft focus effect and the pose works really well. I do feel that the subject is a bit central though, especially as there is quite a bit of space around her.

10. Great image. Well positioned and posed young model. Great choice of processing for this image.

The image is nice but nothing stands out from the background maybe if this is a color picture try to selectively hightlight the colors of the person from the background browns.

08/21/2007 05:45:12 AM
Very well done: I personally would have cropped ever so slightly tighter to reduce amount of grass, while keeping that oval canopy.... But lovely nevertheless.8

Love the sepia tones in this one for it really adds to a feeling of nostalgia of a time long gone - and I can't put my finger on it but for some reason it projects a dreamy mood and feel. Perhaps it is because the model has a pose in which she has a serene and dreamy look in her expression or perhaps it is because of the sepia tones that projects nostalgia. Love the pose of this little fairy - it reminds me so much of the classic postcards or drawn artwork of fairies sitting on a rock or tree stump in a forest setting. Great tones and contrast here as well. One very small critique - I think shooting this at a lower angle might have worked better for the top portion of her left wing would visually pop better of a dark background like that of her right wing does. Not to mention that it would be a subtle visual of placing her "on a pedestal". Great job on the capture and the mood - 9

Beautiful little faerie. Im glad you actually used a person in this challenge, your a rare find. I love it. hope and know your gonna do well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/20/2007 01:38:42 AM
ethereal photo - well photographed and I like the post processing you used... I do wonder if more coppped off the bottom and one side right or left would improve the composition?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/20/2007 12:14:42 AM
the lighting on the ground is a little bit harsh for such a delicate subject, perhaps a different time of day would've created a better lighting mood. her pose is beautiful though and i think that the centered composition works really nicely. 7
