Nice shot, very well managed.

Very interesting, I'm wondering why she is dressed like that. Not so sure I like the centered composition, all the negative space on the sides isn't doing anything for me.

Surrealism through fakeness... evoking very real feelings with artifice. Your title matches the mood. Posthumous Yellow Ribbon.

Well lit to focus attention right where you want it.

Wonderful lighting and a good balance of light and dark that really isolates the subject

Very good job capturing the emotion of the moment.

This really has an old movie feel to it. Nice lighting and processing.

Nice scene, but I'd crop away some of the darkness on one side of the other.

So much to look at in her costume. Almost wonder if I would like it better a little more tightly cropped for the details.
Post actions
Without the color the garment and head dress look a little to busy. Still, nice capture.

She covered her face, the tears threatening a little, and once more she wondered if this was the right thing to do. It had happened so fast, for both of them, and now she was caught in this wonderful, frightening, chaotic thing. This day that was meant for joy and happiness but was also undercut with fear and uncertainty.

Post actions
Nice shot. Good lighting.

Very different and love the emotion. I would have cropped more off the left but its still very nice. Good detail and lots of interest.

Why does she make me think of Madonna? lol Good photo!
Post actions
She is overwhelmed...this image so well portrays what she may be feeling inside, we can feel the weight of the day with her...excellent work.

The crop does not quite do it for me, would have cropped off more of the negative space.

Gorgeous, both the woman and the detail on this. I might have cloned out the background - I think it distracts from the incredible detail of the subject.
Post actions
Intriguing. This portrait looks like it has a story behind it... the skin art, the jewelry, and the headdress. Nice shot.
Post actions
Ouch - looks painful if those are real tatoos...
