Artist's CommentsThe fallen angel rises... - Model: Pauline Photography/direction/styling: me Image collected in my photobook: Something Beautiful. I designed and sewed the dress, it was shot before and not inspired by 300 the movie. There were some 20meters or so of chiffon and tulle, many hours of sewing, unpicking, resewing involved. Hope you enjoy. <3 *edit* 18/11/09 Updated the print and deviation with a higher quality file than before. I'd been reworking some older images for competitions and printing. There's quite a distinctive difference in the color banding and noise quality. The colors may look slightly different from before, but it's so that it would look better for printing~ A before/after can be seen here: [link] ^^ Thank you for your support~ :3 More of this dress in the Forgotten Fairytales series:   Thirteen Tales: Dreamer Redemption   © Zhang Jingna Copyright Notice PS: I've got Twitter [link] and Flickr [link] !

Critiques
Starting with the lighting: Very nicely done, the lighting provides the viewer with soft highlight, shadows, and tones for a very pleasing result to the viewer.
The soft lighting and qualities of light in this image, it sets the stage for the mood. Soft and unique.
Composition: Following several "Rules" of photography, This image has an exceptional composition from the point of view, curves, leading lines etc. It is a very well thought out image.
Th combination of the all the elements involved and mentioned so far leave the viewer with a very soft, action filled image, (harder to accomplish, normally it is one or the other, but this one has both, not only both, but finely done on both.)
The blending of the action into the still reinforces the mood and softness of this image, the way the hair blends into the white cloth and the cloth and curves bend back to the subject, it is like a ballet for the eyes.
This is an amazing image.,
Keep up the amazing work.

I love how this shot has a light and dark feel to it, the shaded edges give it aa nice touch to. The idea was fairly original and i have not seen any other deviation that has taken this angle. I like how she is holding her hands out which makes her look like she's falling but still seems peacefull. I think it would have looked better if the hands looked more defined as they are slightly blury, also i think it would have looked nice in a full body picture with the girl leaning back while on her toes but this shot still has a good feel to it. I like the colour pallet, how the greys and whites stand out nicely against the white - dark edged background. Having the eyes closed was a good idea but i think it would look just as good with the eyes wide open with shock, over all i have no major problem with this peice and think that all of these favourites are well deserved.
