About Halloween costume shoot. Her character was actually "Dead Bride." This "dead" whatever theme is all the rage at the elementary school nearby. Hope this explains the "creepy" element referred to in some of the comments. :)

Here's black and white. Please let me know which you prefer. Thanks.

Bride Black and White


Igor Gatnik   {K:2300} 11/2/2004
Color one, not only because I love colors, but also in color photo I see a child as a bride,


Jennifer Andrews   {K:74} 11/2/2004
This photo is great...I like the color better.


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 11/2/2004
Works in colors also.. great expression and outfit.. i like this portrait! =) The black and white is better for me though.. but there its obvious that you might want to crop abit abit tighter on the right side (from our view). If you ask me.. =)

Cheers

Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 11/2/2004
Patrick, I was trying to be artistic with the odd crop :) If I pull in to balance her center, I lose the ruffle and it's not as interesting to me. If I pull in to the edge of the ruffle, it looks off...sigh, what am I to do :( T.


Roberto Carli   {K:13689} 11/2/2004
Very good this soft image,nicely done!!


Howie Mudge   {K:27580} 11/2/2004
The light is perefect and have to love her pose. I prefer the colour one as the colour gives it a richness the black and white one is missing IMHO.


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 11/5/2004
Toni, I did a little playing with this. I liked the color one too. I thought since it was Halloween it would be better in B&W and pull back the color from the lips - I put a "screen" layer on it to lighten it up though. My new favorite fix in PS.

Bride 2 workup

Hi Cheryl, I really like what you did with the photo, and I'm tickled that you took the time to re-work it. :) This is fun here, isn't it!? Toni

This is an excellent picture. I like the color one on the bottom that was lightened. I attached my opinion. Hope you dont mind. I think that the thicker border takes away from the picture. The black thinner border makes the picture stand up



Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 11/8/2004
Hi Maggie, I love that you gave your opinion! And I think the image is getting better all the time. What you say about "standing up" is true. Great edit. Toni


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 11/10/2004
Congrats on your front page critique!


Ray Heath   {K:4559} 11/10/2004
hi Toni, which do you think is better, it's your image, mono or colour is yopur decision, don't give them a choice, and besides taking the colour out doesn't inherently make a good mono image

I think Cheryl's decoloured version is little too insipid, but lightening the eyes is worthwhile


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 11/10/2004
Congrats my friend for the Featured Critique Award! =)) Cheers!!

Hey Cheryl, see what you started!? What a big surprise. Thanks. :) Toni

Hey Maggie, you are up on the home page today! Congrats and, thanks to you, so am I! :)Toni:)

Congrats for the award,best wishes!!


Olga Melissa   {K:20264} 11/10/2004
amazing!what a feeling!Absolutely amazing!!!!!I prefer the coloured version, the colours reveal a poetic feeling .But I can't understand what exactly this photo is all about, it is so extraordinary.Congratulations!!!!


Leora Long   {K:11223} 11/10/2004
High marks for composition, lighting and technical excellence.

A novel approach. Conceptually a little disturbing. Would this be better named "Punk Bride," because of the black eyes. Maybe this goes with the black lipstick and nails and I shouldn't be surprised.

However, if a reaction is what you are looking for, you got one. What a contrast with your "Savannah."

Peace, Leora


Stephen Bowden   {K:64540} 11/10/2004
Excellent childrens portrait Toni, the lighting and pose are very very good :-)

Congratulations for making the "Front Page" on Usefilm :-)

Best wishes,
Steve


Maggie Rodriguez   {K:215} 11/10/2004
Congrats Tony, this is one of my favorets


Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 11/10/2004
A little unsettling, but excellent. I think the original as posted is the best version so far. The desaturated versions are more spooky but I think they are overkill. An unusual case of where high saturation is a more subtle statement.


Kurt Zoglmann   {K:1373} 11/11/2004
I prefer the B&W image. There is something about the color one that seems a little too creepy. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is that makes me feel that way though.


Mark Sehnert   {K:9} 11/11/2004
Congratulations, Toni. We love this one, and we love you too!


karen clarke   {K:18915} 11/14/2004
It is strange, because I had thought I had commented on this one already, I still remember this shot. Very well done, such sophistication for such a young lady. The composition is splendid, I love how the one eye stands out compared to the other. The painted nails and lips. There is such a sense of growing up too fast, well done with this amazing image~


Toya Heatley   {K:331} 11/30/2004
I love this photo, the black and white is my preference but thats probably because I really like how black and white can show contrast and texture so well. A very stunning shot!


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 11/30/2004
Thanks, Toya. I was torn between the two, and so does it seem is the audience on this picture. That teaches me not to get stuck on the idea that there is a right and a wrong. It's nice to have you here at Usefilm. You are the first from WDP, besides me, as far as I know. I've been hinting for weeks, and you came within 10 minutes...lol. Warm regards. Toni


Olga Melissa   {K:20264} 12/15/2004
I have seen it and written about it again, but still I wanted to say once more, congratulations...this is awesome.


Mara Gamble   {K:46} 1/31/2005
She looks so innocent and beautiful even though she makes the perfect "Dead Bride". :) I like the color better because it captures both the nature of the costume and of the child.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 2/1/2005
You are foraging through :)...I'm flattered. You have an eye for my personal favorites. The color ends up being my preference after all. Thank you, Mara. Antonia


ISMAEL MARCOS   {K:10283} 2/4/2005
DELICIOUS.

è perfetta tecnicamente la tua fotografia
ma se fosse solo per questo, sarebbe solo un esercizio,
e....non lo è perchè porta il sussurro di felicità degli occhi della modella inserita nel ruolo e non solo della modella, quel sorriso appena apppna accennato.......
bravissima la modella
superlativa tu, che hai saputo cogliere tutto
nell'istante veloce
complimenti

Antonia, I love your work, this is a fabulous portrait, especially the girls expressions it's formidable, can’t get any better, my fever is the B&W, technically the lighting - composition is fantastic!
Harry
