Just a quick one from my cousin Katie's wedding to Kyler. It was such a beautiful location, Bonnie Doone Plantation just outside of Charleston, SC.
(C&C always welcomed)

    It's an appealing image Darren. I wonder if a couple of tweaks might make it even more successful? A slightly tighter crop, a touch of straightening, a little more punch in the dress (slight clarity boost, and shifting the white of the dress a fraction towards blue)? I think it might be nicer with the greens a little more intense, also.

    What he said! That will take a nice image over the top.

    Thanks for the compliments! I'll have to try the suggestion NeilL and repost the results.

    I agree with NeilL but also feel the processing is a little harsh, and may not translate well to print. It looks very heavy on the clarity/contrast already, and seems to conflict with her expression and the "dreaminess" of the foliage in the bg.

    That said, you have a lovely image to work with, amazing location, composition and pose/expressions. The possibilities are endless :)

    Would love to see the SOOC image!

    Here's the suggested edits. The one on the left has been straightened slightly and cropped, the dress has been messed with a bit and clarity was ever so slightly boosted. The one on the right is SOOC.

    After looking at them both, I'm definitely leaning towards the tighter crop. Great suggestion, NeilL.!

    Yes I agree Darren, one on left - those little tweaks pull the image up nicely!
