    i think you captured it. :) you look quite happy in this shot. the lighting was quite perfect. perhaps trying another angle though? i do like this angle. but i dont know. just a thought.

    Great SP - definitely a vintage feel, but whether 40s or 50s (30s?) I couldn't say.

    Thanks so much everyone! Steve and Dave you're both probably right, I don't know much about vintage fashion. We'll say 1950s. (:

    Hi Mariah, the protrait itself is great. It have the glamour and feel of those days but the (digital)sharpness and the colors are from now. Try to make the image B/W or crossprosses it a bit.

    I know there was colorfilm in those days but it looked different from this. Sorry for my bad english, I'm dutch.

    It's a lovely shot with a definate feeling of timelessness about it-reckon you could apply it to many eras :))
