During my visit to Nashville, my beautiful cousin volunteered to do a TTD session with me. What do you think of this image? Is it too dark?

    yup..too dark by 1/3 to 1/2 stop. I judge this based on the skin tones mostly and the dress to a lesser degree.

    Thanks for your reply...what about composition? Yay or nay? This was a first TTD.

    If I were a railfan, I might like the comp. Since I'm not, I think it could benefit from being a bit tighter.

    My rule for cropping is that I would normally like to see some of the environment...and hopefully so would the bride. If you crop down too much, then you steal something from the image, winding up with an image that could have been taken anywhere. So, choose your cropping judiciously, leaving enough to identify the location. If the location isn't important to the image...why am I there? That's a question that I always ask myself. Of course there are times when selecting the location is out of your hands.

    The image is nice as it is...but, you, in the future, may want to shoot with an eye toward moving closer to the train so that the train trails off in the BG...just a thought.

    Equally important, if not more important, is subject placement within the image. Rule of thirds...leadins etc...
