pfffft, I was wrong. I really liked this different and shot with feeling take on the theme. I didn't find the veiling distracting and thought it helped to the concept by putting more focus on the shape and body language than the lady's features, which are still visible. It really helped with the somber mood , such as people tend to be in a delicate state of mind in such situations. The title ties it all together. Not always do they make such a perfect match.
Usually I first view the shot and see what the impact is, this one made a good one and then the title rounded it. Perhaps that's why it didn't score as well as we'd hoped? Thing is, in this case I don't see this entry as one of the shots that where not meant for the challenge initially, and where posted with a different title to fit in. Maybe it was but this works too well. It has a good click with me.
Perhaps for this challenge, if there was a nightstand with a picture frame on it in the distrance. Both the nightstand and frame being light in color and OOF just enought to not distract the eye from the lady but add to the story. That would've made the connection even better.
This is wonderful. The soft glow, the light, model, makeup and composition. All the details come together perfectly.
Reckon this will surely make the top5. Good luck :)
Gorgeous model and nicely back lit however something about the curtain doesn't make the shot as effective. Maybe another element in the background would have connected the dots of me.
