You definitely achieved your goal of achieving a vintage look -- I'd say it's an uncanny imitation! If you had the means, a little reflected (bounced) light on her face might have been good.

Terrific set up. Where on earth did you find a spinning wheel? Love the aged look of the image.

This looks like it could really have been taken in the last century - very well done.

The old fashioned style is kinda cool, that flower arrangement at her head is pretty distracting.

Actually Charles Perrault wrote Sleeping Beauty, not the Brothers Grimm but I just found that Briar Rose was the one written by them. I like the old fashioned feel of it.

I like the processing. I don't get the scene, but I presume it's from the story! Well done.
