beautiful and strange

Ahhh, I feel so unworthy of writing a critique for such a magnificent artist, but I thought I'd give it a shot. First off, I'd like to start off by saying it's a beautiful shot. Her dress is marvelous, the water is very cool with the very many ripples it has, so it's a marvelous capture. The only problem I have is somehow her skin seems a bit fuzzy or grainy looking. I am unsure if this is because the black and white has somehow made the photo this way or what, but I think the photo would be better if that were somehow improved. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod" />

The grainy look doesn't seem to appear in the small version, though. Other than that, I love it. I even love the simple fact that there's a little plant next to her. I love the light reflected in the water. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart" />
