I just posted a few recent bridals to my portfolio and would love your honest reaction.

The concept of the first image is appealing. The idea that she's searching for something. The execution takes on a hint of a dream-like atmosphere, but not an overly fantasy treatment…I rather like that. I would like to see some other clue in the photo that adds to the concept. An aspect that adds a little more dimension to the idea. Maybe a small hint of what she's looking for in this small world.

As for the hand images…I don't get it. I think the idea needs to be pushed before it seems interesting. Not sure I understand why they hands have to be associated with bridal gowns. Maybe the executions should be darker in nature. The puzzle just doesn't seem interesting enough at this point.
