I like #3 and 4!

But you can see a slight shadow near her bum in #4

Hello Swartzy.
I like your pictures.
And I like most the 1.st and the 3.ed pictures.
However this one could have a little more flash or a better "treatment" ( in Lightroom for example ) where you could get more detail from the shadows...

The last two pictures are nice but I am not very found of the cast/colors choosen.
I think - may be this monitor's fault - that the 5.th has a green cast.
Strange. Must be the monitor. The shirt was blue to begin with but turned to white now.

At home - Mac - it will have a better rendering I am sure.

On the other hand these are very meticulous remarks to your very good work.
I hope you have a nice session of shots on Saturday.

#1 is too cute how he has his tongue between his teeth.
Great job on these!

I'm loving 2, 3, 4

2 - It might be cliche, but I love that star!

3 - This one has a nice, intimate, romantic feel to it. I wonder if a bit more fill would have improved this a bit? I don't know.

4 - I'm a sucker for a good B&W shot and this one qualifies. I do agree with Antonio about the shadows - some of these could/should be cloned out of existance - would improve the shot quite a bit.

These two make such a cute couple - the wedding pics are going to be gorgeous! Can't wait to see them.

Agree w/ Scott...very cute couple!!!

2 I can't decide about. I love the idea, but I usually love it when the subjects are in silhouette. I'm finding my eyes distracted by his dangling arm and shirt. But then again, i think it was brilliant how you exposed the ring in this. I think if his hand were on her instead of dangling (or cropped out??) this one would be a 5 star for me!

I love, love love #4. Their expressions are great and very nice subject isolation, sharpness and contrast.

#6 is my second fave, but I do wish for a bit more light on their faces. But the twilight glow and the use of bg and DOF is quite lovely here. I suspect this will look gorgeous when printed.

A very solid set! They should be very pleased with them!

Swartzy

Thanks so much for the feedback. I agree the shadow on the B&W needs work. I revisited this and was able to remove the shadow from her backside but lower just wasn't working. Also brought up their faces in the sunset shot. I left the color for mood and realizing in print (as things print a bit darker) it should come up a bit per your observations. I didn't want to give them the "flashy" look but keep it withing the confines of the overall setting. Thanks so much everyone.

Really looking forward to next weekend. So many things I wish to try. I wish I could somehow get that PJ look more often like many of you. Might have to write notes on my forehead.........crop close, shallow DOF Dummy! :D:D

I love #3. The pre-kiss moment makes such a great image with lots of emotion. Well done.
