I guess you are saying "glowing" bride because the veil is glowing, but it's almost hard to tell what this picture is. Maybe a different cropping would help or if we could see some of the bride's face. Nice idea, though.
Your idea was very good - as the back lighting really brings out the texture of the cloth. But - the bottom line is that there is not much to explore in the image.
I like the noise and there is a flowing symmetry to the picture. My personal feeling about this is it would be better to at least see some detail in the bride's face. It looks like maybe she is turned away from the camera, hard to tell.
The only real problem I have with this image is that the brides head lacks form as a silhouette behind the veil. Maybe that's the desired effect, but I can't help but wonder what this image would look like if you could see a silhouette of the brides face.
I like the idea and I like the image you have captured. But I do think thik that it needs a bit more contrast. And I don't see a problem with some of the whites washed out in this image. It does create a very nice flow to the whole image. There's something magical about this image. But I think you need to explore the full potential of it.
Although I appreciated what you were trying to do artistically with this photo,, it just irritated me not being able to see at least a better outline of her face.
Plus the image seemed a bit on the gray side. Sorry.
Nice idea
I don't think it has quite worked as you imagined it. I feel that i would liked to have seen a bit more of the brides face under the veil
I do like it though
