andrej t 0 Posted October 27, 2012 Beautiful surroundings. In cases like this one, it's always difficult to chose between person and nature and to capture it in a coherent photo. However in this case, for me it would work better if there was more focus to a happy bride. But rest that aside, great photo. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted October 27, 2012 Wienchol, I agree with Andrej's critique for the most part. It might have looked better to move in (zoom in) closer to your subject. I do like the dark at the bottom, so that the viewer can move in from dark to light, and the nicely out of focus background. I'm not so sure about the brightly lit yellow leaves in the upper right. They really draw my attention away from the girl. You have focused well on the girl and the composition is balanced, but the composition also seems a tad static. I do wish she was farther down in the scene (crop the bottom a bit). Don't have her facing so straight on to the camera. Turn her so that her body is at more of an angle. This is not a very feminine pose. Showing your subject’s widest areas (shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip) makes those areas appear wide. Your subject will appear thinner and more feminine, graceful and elegant if turned at an angle to the camera. I don't care for the two trees coming out of the railings of the bridge. I do wish you would have moved just a bit one way or the other (left might be better) so that you weren't facing straight on to the bridge. Some diagonal lines would have added some interest and implied motion to the scene. Her skin tone is a bit pinkish/reddish. The sun is sweeping across her face so that her eyes are in shadow and her nose is lit and sticks out. Too bad her pretty dress is so wrinkled. The bridge looks just a little tilted to the right. Horizontal lines should usually be horizontal if possible. Nice shot, Mark Link to comment

jerrymat 5 Posted October 28, 2012 I think that the square crop presents a problem of balance. The human figure is very close to center, which is a static placement. Since the bright orange colored foliage to the upper right presents a series of light traps that divert the attention of the viewer, they might best be cropped out.Jerry Link to comment

jennifercatron 9 Posted October 30, 2012 Wow, all I can say is wow, my only complaint would be the lighting on the face. You have such great lighting otherwise. I would have loved for you to have positioned this so that we could see more of her face. Link to comment
