A perfectly themed setting and great use of lighting. I do like the pose as well, touching the pillar gives the shot more emotion than would "just standing there". One thing I wonder about though, the surface structure of the pillar looks a little strange to me, more like rough iron than stone. Could it be that you applied a noise removal / high frequency filter to the whole image? If so, it worked perfectly for her skin and dress, but made the stone look funny :) The overall composition is without a flaw with regard to the theme. Well done! #5935139Eugenio Diaz May 17, 2008
Great work on this image...love the light and the composition is excellent!!Susana Ms Heide May 17, 2008
Les, Robert and Eugenio: Your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!! THANKS so much guys!! Robert, the pillar in the photo is actually part of a studio set (prop). It's man-made and that's probably why the texture seems "unnatural" for a stone pillar :o) I love getting constructive critiques and am glad you took the time! Thanks again! #5935845Michael S.

Hello Susana.. I spent some time in your gallery tonight and enjoyed it very much. You are very talented. Its funny that I picked this on to comment on because I absolutely love the background. It does look softer in a couple of the other shots but I like it either way. Keep up the awesome work!Erica Murphy May 17, 2008
