I can't figure out if this is a photo of a wedding or a communion. I'm not familiar with communions, but she seems young, so that cast my doubt as to if this was a wedding photo. (then again, I looked like I was about 14 when I got married, so that really has no bearing on anything.) Either way, she is definately entering a new phase in her life and she looks very happy. Good shot! Good luck with the challenge.
excellent execution of a very appropriate interpretation of the theme. I really like how there is no distracting background visible anywhere, although it does not even feel like the veil was cropped. The subject truly glows.
Nice portrait :) I think this is a good example of a photo where soft focus would work nicely :) The lighting in this photo is a little awkward.. the shadow on the left side of her face is slightly distracting... A little more catch light in her right side eye would be nice also :) - jmsetzler
