Well done on your placement. If I had been here to vote (sadly I wasn't this time :( ), it would have had a "10" from me. Photo of the Year in my estimation!!!
This is an incredibly lovely photo and the lighting has a lot to do with that. Photos like this that just exude so much feeling are what makes me love photography so much. Way to capture that moment. :)
I just love this photo so much! It has the most wonderful, nostalgic feel to it. Perfectly done! And even for the great score it received, I think its still underrated! Congratulations on this beautiful capture.
I'm so happy her dress skirt was pleated...it adds such and exciting texture to all the smoothness surrounding her...and the light could not be more perfect...beautifully done.
Fabulous capture. you've nailed the DOF, and the off-center composition adds to the drama of the moment, I can almost feel the gal swooning. If she were on tippy-toes, that might have added slightly to the image.
