You definitely achieved your goal of achieving a vintage look -- I'd say it's an uncanny imitation! If you had the means, a little reflected (bounced) light on her face might have been good.

It has a very nice 'old time' feel to it.

Spinning wheel, costume and all. I'm impressed! Sepia works well.

Terrific set up. Where on earth did you find a spinning wheel? Love the aged look of the image.

This looks like it could really have been taken in the last century - very well done.

The old fashioned style is kinda cool, that flower arrangement at her head is pretty distracting.

This strikes to the the heart of this challenge; I think the treatment is spot on. Well conceived and executed.

Actually Charles Perrault wrote Sleeping Beauty, not the Brothers Grimm but I just found that Briar Rose was the one written by them. I like the old fashioned feel of it.

Great idea for the challenge! This looks like it could have came right out of the book! Nice tones.

an extremely bold move, if this is actually processed to look old, and isn't actually old. heh.

How good is this to be able to capture the era and costume, good composition...

I really like the old feel of your image. It reminds me of a silent movie!

I like the processing. I don't get the scene, but I presume it's from the story! Well done.

This reminds me of Rumpelstiltskin... so old fashioned looking and well composed.
