Wow!! I love this!!! It is truly clever and executed very well!!! The sepia is awesome for this!! Well done!! #1558612

Bryan Yates July 05, 2005

WOW!! I really like this!!!!!!! No kidding! I think if you were to tighten up the crop alittle would also have a great impact! Maybe a horizontal crop with the wine door girl and Santa, kinda reduce the amount of items in the image and focus in on the girl! I wouldn't even mention this if this wasn't such a awsome picture!!!!! Congratulations!!! #1558759

Love the shot, title & sepia tone Claudette. This took thought, preparation & a very dedicated model...lol #1559586

Claudette Foote July 06, 2005

Thanks for you nice compliment...

and Bryan I agree their are many ways this image can look better.. cropping is a good idea ... You really can't go wrong with such a pretty model ( my niece)
Your cropping was nice....but for this image I wanted to show the detail..( I guess because it was so much work) I sold a few 8 by 10 and they really like it.. for a xmas decoration... (single men of course)lol
Have a great day..
