beautiful the frozen look of her lips adds a lot of color to the entire picture, the wedding dress, has a very interesting texture that works very well with the rest of the image, very nice work.

This would look fantastic as a painting. Really amazing. As it stands, it's an excellent photo, with an air about it which is bordering on insanity.

I do like that idea of wrapping, not to mention the contrasts between fabrics and the smoothness of skin, etc. Keep exploring it, you're onto something here

Your eyes just get me every time I see them. I love this. It seems I'm often thinking of vampires when I look at your work, but I'm definitely seeing Lucy from Bram Stoker's Dracula Gorgeous shot. It's very soft, and yet your eyes and that expression make it feel very sharp and cutting.

the white starkness is chilling.... such absence of warmth.. but still i can't help myself from thinking, theres a fire of life within you that is yet to be revealed
perhaps death brings new life
... a new phase perhaps?

very interseting experiment. i have to say the various textures are great, though i'm wondering if a darker background would add more contrast.

Ooh, but the expression is awe-inspiring. She looks dead, distressed... there is so much emotion there it is overpowering.

I really like this photo but there is something in the facial expression which is un-natural... can't grasp what it is though :/

I the light the clothes and the eyes...

looking back at it again, I think it's the half opened mouth...

oww I like it just the same! hehehe

Don't know if you meant it, but dang that stare you got going there is spooky! Because of the bright light in the eyes, both they're very bright, and your pupils are tinsy...

Great shot though, as always... love the lighting, love the texture.

The white fabric immediately brings to mind a burial shroud. An idea that is further reinforced by your facial expression and blank vacant stare.

It is a very interesting piece but there seems to be something a tad off. Might be the lighting, I'm not sure. Overall I think it's a pretty nice composition and as always it's nice to see some more material from you.

I can't think of many stronger images I have seen on dA, and probably, half of those are yours anyway
Your work with fabric and texture always impresses the hell out of me, but here the face is sooo strong - I have to tear my eyes away to look for the details that you always put in.
I can't get enough of the bleached out whites, and soft cold blues.

Not perfect, but then you have to give the rest of us some hope, eh?

Wonderful, as ever, Ilyssa.
