evita was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this gorgeous photo.

she's your girl? wow! she looks pretty with the dress!

the dodging (or burning) around her on the background is a bit too much for me, but the brown colors are fantastic.

Do you have more photos from the show?

This is gorgeous! The toning is perfect for the era depicted. She's gorgeous, too, by the way.

Personally, I think she should be staring at him, not away from him. Its a bit on the warm side also.

An attractive couple. The lighting suits the mood and gives a feeling of intimacy to the shot.

I cannot figure out the expressions on their faces... they dont seem to go together. That is the only things that I notice about this shot. Everything else is great; colors, lighting, blending, ect. Its a good peice of work but I think if her expression was different, maybe a happier one like his, it would be dang near perfect.

I like this pose, has a bit of theatrical feel. I would of liked a bit more lighting on their faces. I understand this may not of been something you could control. It's a good entry, best of luck.
