Well executed. I really like this one. I would have maybe tried to position their heads in such a way as to minimize her nose. It looks a little out of proportion in this shot. Even so, it is beautiful.
I here you on the nose, a profile of her was probably not the best angle, but it is her. I had a couple more angles not showing her nose as much, but chose this one because I liked her smile and the focus was a bit better on the ring.
Cool shot.
For me the couples faces are to large in the photo and they are too blurred.
Again just for my eye...with shots like this I prefer the ring to be more dominant in the picture and the couple would be much further off in the background not quite so out of focus.
It took me a couple seconds to recognize that those were faces.

that's actually what I like about it! it is a pretty ring shot and the faces are an incidental. I like the comp and the need to take a hard look before you realize what is really there! Just a snap though... as she balances the ring on the rose!

I would liked to have had the ring a little more dominant as well, but I had a 70-200 on in a very busy room. I kinda liked the close crop of them showing just enough expression, but like you said thats just my eye. Thanks for the detailed comments, definitely stuff to think about in the future.

Haha I think you just called my a girl
It really was quick thing. I had my 70-200 sitting on the couch taking some sniper shots of my kids, wife, friends. Then someone said I should take a photo of the ring, and a photo was born:D
It can still be a snap with a lovely assistant holding a flash camera right though right

Dude I am so sorry!!!! You need an avi with more face. Please forgive that stupid assumption! CJ is unisex and you have no nose with longish hair. I'm really sorry about that!
Anyone else want to make a gender distinction before I embarrass myself again? It's bound to happen!!!

Heres me.
My first and only attempt at a SP a couple months ago.
See, now that pic in your avi looks to me like an adult female pointing her finger like a gun, like a "shooting" reference for photography. I get it now, and yup I feel like an idiot! Oh well, that is something I am quite versed in!!!
I usually just assume peoples avis are picks of themselves but that is certainly a foolish assumption now that I think about it!!! It was a while before I realized Swartzy's picture wasn't his own and that is a full face shot of his kid!
So again I'm sorry, and leave it if you like. I'm sure most people get it.
And lastly a note to Heatherfeather to say thanks for the gender conformation pm, I'm glad that we have now confirmed that you are indeed a girl. ...and a smartass!

So you called Heather a dude? I think Swatzys picture is his grandson. She does look kinda old in that picture though with all the attitude. She was sick of me talking photos of her, I think she was 2.

NO! I knew Heather was a she! She was being a smartass so I called her out on it. Of course I also knew that about her... As for swartzy's pic, yeah that just proves I'm a dork. I really just assume avi pics are of the poster and honestly don't look closely enough at them to really pay attention. On a 1920x1080 screen the avi pics are pretty small. I always took it as a way to identify yourself but obviously that isn't what people do. Even when you first called me out on it, you can see from my stumpling post I STILL thought it was you! That is funny that she is only 2 there... I amaze even myself sometimes!!!

you've got me curious now, are you referring to the ring photo or my SP? Thanks either way!
I didn't recognize the faces at first. maybe too big, But I loved the photo and concept in general. Very nice
