Nice setup and photo Reply »

I think the composition would look better with the umbrella actually being used as an umbrella. Reply »

Very cool creative shot, I think the sunbrella is used well here, you can see the beautiful design on it, plus she is looking to see if the train is coming naturally tilting the sunbrella to the back. Well done. Reply »

Great set up and shot -love it Reply »

Nice composition, I would say out of the ordinary. Good luck author Reply »

Congrats! Reply »

Again thanks! A little surprised as there were so many great entries Reply »

That's a fabulous shot but i think it's not so on topic... Reply »

Stunning work. Beautiful light and tones. I disagree with Akassa above....this is very much on topic. It's quite obvious she's wearing dress. Reply »

This is an amazing shot, the lighting is awesome, the set up very thought out, well done = ) Reply »

I'm just guessing, but I think Akassa may be thinking that the dress isn't the focus of the shot. But the theme doesn't say it has to be, it just says that the main subject needs to be wearing a dress, and it appears that the subject of this shot is the woman, and she is wearing a dress. Reply »

I think this is a great shot! I don't think the dress plays as much role as it should in this theme, but I think it is still on topic and should not be removed. Voters....just vote accordingly...you know, add or subtract points for key things like: quality of photo, composition, on theme, general pleasing to the eye, etc. etc. Reply »

What am I missing here?
Is this constructive criticism?
The theme states that a subject has to wear a dress.Nothing about main focus of the photo or role playing!
I think that voters have they're own judge & they don't need some one to guide them.
If any one thinks that this is off topic,just red flag it & let the mods decide...

I can clearly state that she is wearing a dress. I would also say that it is an amazing black and white with a great atmosphere. Also the composing is impressive. Of course, the dress is not the main subject of the picture, but I think it is respecting all the rules. Good luck author. Nice job Reply »

Beautiful costume, very good shot. Reply »

Very nice. Reply »

Wonderful shot and BG, if only a bit of eye contact with the subject here...That would have really made the shot IMHO Reply »

A dreamy shot! Nice contrast between yellow and blue. truly a good one, good luck! Reply »

While this photograph is stunning, the little girl was just recently used in another contest, thus revealing your identity author. Maybe be you can retake the picture, change her hair style, and the dress if possible. Reply »

You are quite right, and I would appreciate if you red flag them when you see them. We have got a little kinder lately and let some stay, if they are at least a few weeks apart. However, as your photo won last week, and the girl was so remarkable, it really did stand out.
The photo you removed was also stunning, give it a few month and try again. Reply »

Good shot. Reply »
