Description

This is one of my favourite photographs from Monday's shoot up on Cissbury Ring. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph Liv in this truly magical dress, and the light was just perfect. Sometimes you just have to go with the moment...

Slight cropping, softening and contrast adjustment.

Ravenswing Dress by The Dark Angel Design Co. Ltd.

Exposure: 1/160th at f5

Thanks for taking a look and have a nice day!

A wonderful, mystical image, I really like the treatment and the soft mood, I almost expect a Hobbit to pop his head around the corner....Geoff

Very ethereal feel to it. Beautiful lighting, dress and general over-all feel to it. I can't help but feel that a bit more space above her would have helped creat a bit more 'airiness' to it as I think she looks slightly cramped in the framing. Maybe its just me !
Very well done.
