I love that first picture! they're all good, but the top one is my favorite--the light is just perfect.

Yeah, I thought it was good as a portrait!

My sister was remarking on how I completely wash out in full sunlight, which is showing a little in it, too XD

what do you mean Ariel's hair isn't natural jade_sabre_301 July 30 2012, 20:43:46 UTC

I LOVE the action shot. I'm in awe of how long your hair is--mine is currently long-for-me (and also needs a trim), but it will never rival that.

Also you posted about Brave and I wanted to comment but keep forgetting but--I think I missed all the awesome subtle things that were happening because I was busy being not surprised in any way by the plot? And not being caught up enough in it because I was too busy going "wait, this is it?" But I absolutely agree about how awesome the dad in particular was.

Ariel's hair never remotely resembled mine for one it behaved under water XP idiosyncreant July 31 2012, 02:39:25 UTC

Brave was a mix. If you went in expecting another earth-shaking Pixar film, it didn't really deliver. But in a way, they still were telling the kind of story almost no one is in an animated or hey, any movie at all.

Also, gorgeous. Finally, a girl's dream horse in animation!

you mean those bangs aren't realistic? jade_sabre_301 August 1 2012, 19:16:07 UTC

Exactly! I think...I mean the mother/daughter family story that was told was almost unique and so, so important, but at the same time the film overall doesn't deliver, and I think it's perhaps that it didn't quite feel...epic enough? For all the epic prettiness (and omg yes very very pretty) it didn't...succeed in making the story just as epic and important as any helpless-princess-rescued-by-prince--it lacked the timelessness, maybe? I thought the bit with the witch (especially the I'm-not-here cauldron) was especially not-quite-right. The story was better and more important than that of Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, and yet the movie didn't quite succeed as pure fairy tale. Maybe less focus on silly men brawling and more focus on...other things?

Still working on this. It certainly adds a new dimension to my slowly developing thesis on Disney-sponsored animated princess movies.
