Fantastic, really captures an era. Her face and especially the hair and dress. The background almost looks smoky? Nice effect.

Yeah, actually we burned a ton of incense during that shoot to get that effect.

Mmm this is delicious. I love how it is so dusky but her face is lit sweetly.

Very retro. I love it. The backlighting is great, and I like the smoky feel it has. Very cool!

Great job. Lighting and contrast and wonderful. Oh no, that's just like the comment above mine, what might I do...

I can't quite tell if the dress is victorian styled, or from a time even longer ago. The pose, the profile of her face, the vivid distinction of white skin against the black dress, or vice versa...

Also, usually minor thing, the smoke effect, in the background, makes me feel this is a lass I'd meet somewhere in a smoke filled bar, alone...

Not sure why, though.

Excellent protrait. A sure favourite from me.

Very nice classic hollywood-style portrait.
You did everything very well on this. Nice composition. Sharp focus. I love the models pose and expression. Great job with the lighting, allthough I would have went withoput the hair-light (I dont like the bright wisps of hair on the back of her head)

this is such a superior simulated retrospective photograph. all the elements are flawless and yes your model has a certain sass that is appealing.

OoOOh!
This does NOT look like it was taken in this decade, nor the past 5...
It's so odd to see a vintage-like face.
I love this picture... great job.

I adore this dress!!

Beautiful lighting on your model's face. Love the expression as well. She reminds me of Christina Applegate.

All-round excellent photo!
