She is wearing a snood. This looks like extremely purposeful Renaissance to me.

The colors look photoshopped, too, to make it look more like a painting. I find it hard to believe it came out of the camera like this

More like "lightroomed" and that's a normal step in photography. The colours are extreme and that was a choice. One that I don't quite understand because when reducing saturation, I like it better and I don't think it looks less like a painting. Probably not much about this picture is accidental, which doesn't fit the spitit of this community, but in my opinion it's a great pic.

You know that hippies still wear snoods, right? The rest of her clothes are modern but distinctly hippie-styled, so this is either the world's laziest renfaire costume, or it's just a hippie wearing clothes like a hippie does.

Also, the light is not coming from the candle pictured

Lots of old timey artists "cheated" by using out of boundary light sources to light their scenes, this is not the "gotcha" you think it is.

Well, only a tiny amount of light from the candle contributes. Not sure what to make of the facial expression though... why so wide eyed? What's happening off-camera?

I'm not a doctor, lawyer, or scientist, but I think it's at least plausible she might be "tripping balls," as the youth say.
