these are quite nice. I would lose the tilt in the last shot.

By Tilt you mean the BW/color scheme?

I mean straigten the image out...its leaning left and I don't think it adds to the shot at all. I don't mind the slective colring there.

Not sure about the bride's expression in 4, and 2 looks overly airbrushed, but otherwise nice. Really like 1 and 3 and the tilt in 5 doesn't bother me TBH.

Generally it looks as if these were overexposed. Too many hot spots / lost detail. Too much clarity for my taste, it leads to lots of halos. Also watch the color cast on the brides dress in #3.

* I don't know what your processing technique is, but these images look really low-res, like they were sharpened wrong and THEN uploaded to Facebook. Especially the 2nd one. Are you going to town with smoothing and sharpening actions in Photoshop? Are you compressing the images a ton?

* Please tell me that image #5's processing was only because the bride DEMANDED it. The 90's just called, they're gonna revoke your Photoshop license if they catch you doing partial B&W again.

Okay I kid, I kid, (well not really) ...the images themselves are beautiful, and I mean it. Editing is a FAR better thing to disagree on, compared to downright bad photos. :-P

Hey there.

I think the photos are fairly nice. Just some remarks:

I do *hope* that you just turned the quality waaaaaayy down so it's easier for you to upload those pics to a gallery. They seem awwwwfullly grainy to me (and I'm sure to anybody else on here).

#2: she has hot spots all over her face & arm
#3: her dress is blown, but it is a nice composition / pose, though I wish he would be holding her arm (I don't even see his arm, is it there? )
#4: doesn't do it for me
#5: @ Matt

Thank you all for your constructive comments

a. YES these are LOW-RES, the real images are not grainy at all (I would never post hi-res againpics after I've seen some of my pics being sold on the web)

b. the 80's pic (lol I also laughed hard at this... cause its true!) is part of a sequence of pics I used for their slideshow.. i'll pot them later, yiu'll understand!

c. Hotspots... stll trying to find the right balance when I have such a strong light source.... Im too greedy with my f-stops, guess I need to learn to bring it up a notch!

d.

Thanks all!!!!

#1: I like the colors, ring shots always look the same to me.
#2: Nice shot, love the shoes
#3: OK this is my opinion: I try to avoid legs spread regardless of sex, but otherwise great shot
#4: Another opinion: looks like he's going straight for his zipper.
#5: Typical and trendy. I'm not saying I didn't like it. I'm just saying I've seen this shot a million times.

Post Processing Opinion: I don't know, I wasn't there when you did it, but I must say back off on the sharpening tool.

PS: there are way more positives than negatives regarding these photos. (just thought you should know that) Overall: good job
