    Nice job with these, Nik.

    #1 is a great moment. I'm sure they will love that one.

    I love #5. You hit that one out of the park!

    WTG Nik!!
    You've got to be a stoked about this! Love it!

    #1 and #5 are stunning. I would, with #1, crop a bit off the top.

    Scott,
    thanks, man! thumb.gif
    I know what you talking about, but I'm saving this as a cover shot for the wedding guest book, so I need that space to put some text in it...
    I have similar ones with a tighter crop :-)

    it's a chorus....I love #1 & 5!!!! WOW!

    I also like the reflection shot, but I think I'd like it better in B&W.

    I think I will have the guest book done all duotone, so your suggestion definitely falls right into my book mwink.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Yes, I think Shay's sample version was like that mwink.gif
    And with the "beach/sunset/silhouette" being the theme of the shoot, it only feels natural to follow his nice example. thumb.gif

    Bravo
    Nik,

    Great images - love them!

    That spot at Ventura is a great spot to shoot. I've done a few series there,

    Did you pull permits? I have shot there and seen the rangers out.

    No, no permits were requested. I guess we weren't that obvious, despite of large white lens, but no white dress and such...
