I agree that the skin tones could use a touch of brightening. I love the way the dresses flow together...nice.

Haha Sara. She does indeed loathe her "crows feet". For some reason, I decided I did not want to take them out, simply because I call those her "laugh lines". She only has them when she smiles or laughs, and I love to see them. I agree that for some it is a sign of age, but I think it is a thing of beauty.Thank you so much for your fabulous eye of critique Sara. It shows that you really look closely at my photos! :]

Spectacular DOF! And I too love the selective coloring in the leaf and eye! That blue really draws you in! beautiful angle of your wife. Not sure if I should add this part... but you could be her knight in shining armor and get rid of the lil crow's feet we all LOATHE to admit we have.  Her freckles really add interest to her close up.

Wow! What a treasure. The light is beautiful, and the expressions you caught are wonderful. Great perspective. The sepia works very well. I predict tears from her parents when they see this...please let me know... Thank you for stopping by to comment because I know I am going to have a great time looking through your work. I will return for more very soon. Antonia

This is beautiful! The poses, positions on the gowns and tender embrace are excellent. This is a capture that will last a lifetime (the bride and her family will enjoy it for hours on end). The background creates atmosphere and you have told a bit of the story about where they are (near a bridge and and water), while managing to avoid having the horizon line of that portion of the landscape running through the subjects. That is good. Yes, the light wasn't ideal, and you could always selectively brighten the skintones up a bit if you want to make them stand out a bit more from the values which now are close to the same values as the lawn. This is gorgeous, and once you have tapped all of the potential in the skintones, it will sing loud and clear.

Hi Dina! Thanks for your interest. The light was indeed up high and to the left, which is where I had her look; but yes, you are correct in that I went ahead and darkened the lower left of the photo a bit more in P.S. just to add to the contrast. I liked the original color version, but this one looked so much more dramatic, that I had to post it instead.
Thanks again friend! :]

What do I think? I think this is very beautiful. You have captured their individual personalites very well. Your creativity in not giving up when things don't go your way is a credit to you. Well done.
Thankyou also Darren for your wonderful comment on my image. I am truly flattered that you have added me to your friends list. Your portfolio is very beautiful. I look forward to chatting some more.
