Sheesh, we have to drop all the way down to this image in 60th place before we see an image celebrating the "normal" body... This always bums me out. I like this shot very much. If you want a laugh, check out MY entry at the very bottom of the heap, which is almost fetishistic in its exploration of the decay that accompanies age...

Very good recreateion of a classic image/feel. However I don't like the crackle treatment done to the image, and feel that the whole thing is overly hazy.

Not a bad idea, but the post processing (which I think you were trying to use to get an old tintype feel), doesn't work for me.

This is a great picture. I love the way you have arranged the curtains there, and the processing adds to the old paintings effect. Pose is great 9

hmm did you add a texture layer here? (the small black lines)
could use a bit contrast here.

I like the concept but feel the execution falls a little short. The post processing is nice, and I don't really mind the color. The crackled texture drives home your attempt, but the pose is somewhat lacking. The smile and head position don't really work for me. The pose seems a little forced probably due to the stiff elbow. I would also recommend when going for a vintage feel, remove what appears to be a watch from your model. The interjection of modern accessories take away from the feel of the image.

Composition is classical and beautiful. But the image lacks contrast and looks like the shadow/highlights tool was overused.

Looks like a PS-filter was used but if not you created a great atmosphere here.. (8)

Classic and fancifully romanesque. Great idea and I like the crackling effect.

Well done, and I feel it has the look of the paintings in the Romance/Renaissence era.....

Beautiful set-up! I wish there was just a little more contrast, but it's still very nicely done.

good concept
i like the pose
but IMO lighter around the face and at the same time desat a bit more (and/or up the contrast ?) may make it more 'authentic'

she has classic renaissance beauty. On a technical note, it is probably best to remove any jewelry...it distracts from the possiblity of timelessness...or my mind wanting to drift back to another place in time.

I do like the antique look of this - nicely set up and nice soft, even light which further enhances the mood of this shot.

This has a very Victorian look to it. I think I would have lost the candles though.

That cracked painting look isn't working for me. It kinda looks like you just pulled you hair out and sprinkled it over the place.

cool, I like this, it looks very much like an old school painting, if you didn't violate any rules, I'd love to know how you did this
