Forlorn

Oh, this is very nice. I love the scene, the emotion, and I think the "old world" process is a great look for this image.

The 'old world' late Victorian/Edwardian bellows plate camera look is precisely what I was striving to achieve with this composition.

The process was primarily inspired by the bride's maid's dress and her classic looking no frills natural looking hairstyle. Her father's attire also influenced my decision. Well observed and thank you!

Yes, it's very nice. I imagine that in color it would have a very different feeling. It reminds me of one I took, of a much older girl, in a similar situation.

Indeed it does. I had considered posting the original unedited version but decided not to. I thought it would dissolve the impact of this one.
