A little tricky to comment on all of them. As I'm sure you know, you'll get a better response from folks if you attach a few of your faves to the thread. I briefly went through the series, and my favorite is probably #91. I'm really liking the shadows on the wall behind them, and a it looks a little more spurr the moment, and not so "okay, okay hold that kiss, hold it....". If that makes sense? A lot of them IMHO could benefit from some cropping and some PP just to punch it up a notch. Here's my two cents, go through, find lets say 5 faves, give them some Oomph and post again, and I'll be back to revisit!

Thanks for sharing! Adorable couple!

- asking people to wade through 158 photos for a C&C is a bit much.

May I suggest you pick your favorites (say, 10 or less) and link them back to this thread? When you do this, be sure to assign a number to each of them for the commenters to reference - just makes life so much easier.

Agreed. Also, something that will save you both time and frustration...if the shot's blurry, out of focus, camera shake, you might want to delete it. There were several there as I was looking.

I think you did a great job.

Beautiful location, fun shots & a good variety ... I agree, I think some of them could use some "color pop" and maybe an edge vignette, but I am sure that the couple is in love with their photos ... just watch out ... in some photos you burned their faces (strong, direct sunlight)

Thanks Everyone for your input.... Yeah the blurry ones were all taken with the old Kit lens... Now i have the Lens with IS so hopefully next time i wont get the blurry ones... Next time I will only post a few of the best images.... Thanks again
