I found this very intriguing, and made me stop as I went through the photos during voting. Her eyes are captivating. The back of her veil looks blown out near the shoulder, as well as a couple of the highlights on the beads on her left forehead. Nonetheless I still find myself captivated by this photo.

beautiful pastel colors. soft focus is perfect for the subject. although i feel that there are too many stones on her beautiful face. i loved the idea, exposure, color, dof, composition...so not taking too many points off 8

I like the composition, the lighting and the colours. What i do not seem to like is the expression on the model's face; I am a bit confused about what message she is trying to convey
