    Two words: Stun. Ing!

    The vantage point is so low, giving it a really unique perspective that few are willing or able to get. Were you lying down, or were you standing on a staircase a few feet lower than the subject?

    Very nice...I'm sure some wedding magazine is looking for something just like this. It's better than a lot of the work that I've seen in How-to Wedding Books. Spot on processing and angle.

    It certainly has the wow factor. And, I have to add, a nice deviation from the usual pat done-that wedding dresses.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice lighting and exposure. My only nit is the head growing out of the brides shoulder.

    For me, about as bad is the left tilt of the scene.

    Leveling is always a good thing unless you are doing a more deliberate Dutch Angle.

    Others had the same opinion. Thanks! I need to straighten it. Also, I need to remove the head. Thanks!

    Straightening bothers me more than the head, can you repost after you tweak it?

    I merged your two similar threads, and deleted the duplicate image post that resulted from the merging. thumb.gif

    This photo makes every penny she paid for the dress worth it.

    You made your entire wedding package price on this one!

    I agree. In this shot you have to leave the head in...otherwise, you will have an arm popping out of the left side of the bride, between the bride and the other attendant that you can fully view...and that would be a little odd.

    If the head really bothers you, then you can blur it a little...say equal to the woman on the right of the bride to create a little more separation.

    Okay, not to be the stick in the mud, but I don't think this is all that great. Beyond the tilt and the slightly awkward composition, you really have a photograph of a bride and bridesmaids walking out of a hotel. Yes, the light looks cool, yes the reflection is cool, yes the angle is cool, but it's nothing more than them walking out of the hotel. To me the strongest part of the photo is the beautiful bride/dress/flowers. Everything else is not quite there. Did you think about what you could have done here when you saw this is the viewfinder?

    Have the bridesmaids get out of the frame (or set them up better), level the frame, probably center it on the bride with the two large plants on either side, quickly pose the bride in the same place and keep the perspective / dof. You'd still have to remove the "North Tower" sign, possibly the bookcase on the left, and some of the lightswitch hiding behind the plant on the right. It could really be an amazing photo.

    As a side note, do you care if it's real/unreal? You're the artist :)
