    Your image isn't available...
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
    Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

    I can see the image, after a few seconds. Beautiful shot! I love Indian & Middle Eastern brides, they're so amazing to photograph!

    Yep, I see it now. Nice portrait. Not really in to the over exposed, hazy look. Why did you choose that post processing? Just wondering. Looks like your light was rig th. Do you have a color version of this one. I'd really like to see it.

    Just looked at your website...some pretty nice stuff there.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the comment. I chose this technique because I wanted to try something different. The light source - flashgun pointed on the ceiling. Background completely replaced in ps. The lady loved that old, hazy effect. I have a colour version as well but is boring - this one is different that I wanted to share it with you.

    I can live with that...it's all about pleasing the customer. I can see her liking it.

    Liking your color image. Nice light. Exposure is spot on. One nit...a little more forward light to get rid of the shadows on the brides eyes. If your flash has a plastic pull up card...that will work.

    The group shot is tripping me out a little because of the ultra-wide distortion. I know that sometimes you're already up against a wall, but if at all possible that type of portrait situation should be shot no wider than 35mm. Otherwise people's foreheads (or anything near the edge of the frame) will start to get all warpy...

    I know what you mean - I had one meter and behind me was a table :( That why I had to use a wide angle.
