Does this work?

Does this work as a picture of the ring exchange? Which crop is better ? (not to

worry, i have pictures with the heads in as well... :-P)

 

Thanks!

Sarah, I definitely like the second one better. neither really looks like a shot of "the ring exchange" but it still would be a good background shot for an album.

I think the background HAS to be blurred. My eyes go immediately to the red seats and the pillar on the right, even in the picture with 'Mr.' not in the picture.

It works if you client love it. it doesn't if you client don't.

blurring the background would be a good idea - my first impression was that only one guest showed up!

Hi Sarah,

I also prefer the second crop so that you don't get distracted by the face of the guest. I agree it will look less like only one person turned up if you blur the background in PS, but also I think perhaps B&W might make the red of the chairs less distracting from the true focus??? Then I think it could be a lovely shot. Warm regards, Karina

The connection between the hands and the book are the focus.

 

How about ...<div></div>

william, i love what you did with it.

 

as for the B&W suggestions, I understand but I sort of like how the chair color matches the groom's flower

Yes. To me this shot is about the tension between the book and the hands as well.
