    Nice series. thumb.gif
    Shooting in the middle of the day can be ugly for us photogs - you handled it nicely.
    Good colors and pp - pretty clean images.
    #6 - maybe try dropping down to the ground? and watch your cropping (left side)
    #4 crop the right side down - push the couple out of the center.

    8-9-10 and 12 very nice.

    Later,

    Looks like a fun time was had by all - very nice. My faves have to be #8 and #11 - maybe because of the feel of a family (yeah, I'm a mush sometimes).

    Just wondering why there is such a red color cast to number 1? It works well as a black and white as does number 2, which also appears a little too red...see the simple conversions below.

    And number 7...isn't very flattering of the groom...the shadow across the front of his head makes it look like his forehead is deformed...a balloon under the scalp. I know this isn't the case and, therefore, shouldn't be given to the couple.

    Nice clean shots...very well done. Just had a question and suggestion...something you might have overlooked. Thanks for sharing.

    Although as a B&W, the background gets a little busy.

    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.

    Thanks for all the responses!

    Ed,
    I too was surprised when I loaded these to the computer, with the red cast. The only thing I can think of is that most of the buildings in downtown Denver are red brick, and since I shot most of these in an alley, in diffused light...??? I tried fixing the cast in most of these, but obviously didn't do a thorough enough job. My bad.

    These are very nice. a few chopped feet and whatnot but otherwise very nice comps. I really like how you worked the daughter in. The fisheye shot of the 3 of them would be far nicer with proper lighting. It looks like his forehead is dappled with light through the trees or it may be your flash. On camera flash with a fisheye is tough, so either move them into even lighting or use off camera. Great series though, and I'm sure they will be pleased!
