This image is odd and I cant quite put my finger on it..but I think it is the lack of depth and soul. She was nothing but pose...I was unable to pull anything out of her. I did not neat image or overly process her skin. It is not that her skin looks plastic but maybe it is she who is plastic?...pondering and scratching my chin...
it is shallow beauty. I entered it because I was curious of my color ability and my monitor calibration in relation to everyone else's. I entered it as a last minute whim.

Thank you for answering my question. I was hoping you wouldn't take it to wrong way. I just wanted to get inside your mind a little.
I think the one thing that strikes me odd about the picture is her smile... it seems that she is faking it.

I was really shocked to see that this was one of your photos. You seem to have a darker side about your photography... which I really like. Are you disappointed that this did so well because it is kind of opposite of what you seem to like to shoot or what people expect from you here on DPC? Just curious....
Lighting: perfect, although it appears a bit overprocessed to the point of her skin looking at bit plastic.
Pose: is not quite as expressive as I would have liked, particularly the stare, but it works well. Also, since this is under the advanced editing rules, the tan line should have been burned to match the rest of her skin.
Background: works well, but I wish it was not tilted.
A very lovely bride I must say! Something about this shot doesn't look right though. She looks a little plastic, almost like a manequine. Did you use Neat Image on this? The detail in the veil is also just not there...

Lighting and color are really excellent! I love the high-key tonality. Your model's neutral expression and almost vacant gaze makes her to look like a Barbie doll.
A stunning bride at that. Beautiful eyes and the perfect gown to match. The upper right dark areashould not be there. The "flowy" feel of the veil is great.
How stunning! This bride is simply beautiful; lighting and softness are perfect. I do have one tiny nitpick...the gown appears to not fit very well, making her a bit "boxy" in appearance in the torso...like the gown is too big. Still, a beautiful portrait. :o)
Stunning! Any bride would be overjoyed to have a picture like this in their album. It has a nice softness to it. The lighting is nice and th facial features really pop. Well done, one of my top choices. :-)
OK, I had to look twice to make sure this wasn't a doll. Don't get me wrong, I love the composition, colors, contrasts... it's the sign of a great photographer. It's the eyes.... they look plastic to me. did you "whiten" them? I'm aware that this is current practice in many studio shots but IMHO they just seem overwhite. Beautiful shot nonetheless 8
Nice shot. Beautiful eyes and skin. I think the lighting is good also. A full smile might have been better though, and I'm not sure about the angle. Maybe it's just me, and if I am the only one that says anything, please just disregard it.
if I where a women and where getting married and this would be me then I would love you for making me so beautiful ... this one is a winner ... all is so perfect. Please tech me how to take so beutiful photo and this soft blured effect.
I am not a wedding phto person, but this one is great...
i like the soft focus effect (very effective )
i like the light and the color
The eye is simply AMAZING....
Hair is quite something ! wow...
I like to see some teeth in the smile... look too rigid... that the only bad point
