 Marise, a friend. This is a setup shot.:)

This is only ambient light... tried the reflector but light was a bit harsh.

Sniffle sniffle. . . .thank you for telling us it was set up. It's very sad. But as always brilliantly photographed!

This is wonderful. I love the color palette, the faded reds in the bouquet and on her face and nails. Not sure what I'm looking at frame left (the black blob) and right (the magnified red). Are you shooting through glass? Did you overlay a filter? Anyway, a very interesting photo that nails the theme to boot.

10.... Really emotional feel. Also seems real and not staged, which is cool.

It's nice that it looks like a still from a film.

Nice capture of abandonment, I like tyhis urban feel. Well executed - image is sharp, lighting and colors work well here.

Wow, this image sure does ask a question. Love the composition and the exposure and the processing.

Hmmm, I think it asks why in too many ways..... I know that seems crazy considering that is the theme of the competition, but it makes me ask too many questions (I am simple minded). Why is the bride so sad....Why is she in such a place.... Why is no one with her.... Confusing to my little mind. Overall, i do like the photo though.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
