Here is a recent bridal image from my last wedding. I love this one. Thoughts?

Hi. I like the shallow DoF and the image is nice and sharp on the eyes, however, I'm not sure that the pose is the most flattering for the bride. Just my opinion.

Her face looks nicely done. As the other poster said, she may not like the pose and maybe move her up just a bit in the frame.

I would crop this much tighter.

Nicely done!

re
love it-- great light and I like the focus on the eyes-- brilliant. I deffinately agree with the comments about cropping it.

Lovely lighting and expression in her face... I remember reading in a portraiture book a while back that cropping or ending the frame at a joint is called a "visual amputation" and should be avoided, because it causes an uncomfortable feeling in the viewer. But a mid joint crop, or just a tight face shot would make it even more beautiful.

I took a quick look at your site, CW- you have some very nice work!

Way too sharp, and as mentioned a crop.
