Creepy, yes, but lovely. There's something about the floral pattern behind her versus the intricate texture of the dress that is quite lovely. I enjoy the fearlessness of the contrasty light.
Love the detail in that dress. I get the feeling of shyness to the point of not even noticing the face. Possibly a Quaker.
Ben my wife just saw this and the first thing she said was creepy.
Very nice Rachel.
Thanks John...funny about the creepy...others have thought she seemed dead, perhaps the stiffness and the pose of the hands lend to that, and of course the missing head. I never saw it that way, I was too busy swimming in all the detail.
