Women at wedding.

The color changes i made in PS wouldn't quite "keep" when i saved for

web option, regardless of what i tried (a little browner sepia), which

of course shows my PS newbieness. I know the crop of the woman's

elbow is a mistake in composition thru the viewfinder. I am not sure

about the vertical croppings, but to me they seem even, with the

diagonal of the bride's veil versus the bare shoulder on the other

woman.

 

So, please let me know what i could have done better. Thanks.

This is such a lovely photo of a bride and her mother. Both ladies are so lovely which is proving to be its own enhancement to the wonderful tone of the photo. The only flaw, if you can call it that, is the ladies are not centered or the bride is leaning at an awkward angle and the mother is appearing just a hair out of focus. Of course, the focus could be a simple upload issue. The bride's emotion shows nothing but joy.

Very nice. I would like to have seen just a little more space to the left. I think that the elbow cropped out is fine. Nice lighting, nice tones and wonderful expressions!

natural expressions. subtle feelings. nice shot!

a fantasticly beautiful bride and her proud mom. Maybe not the most original shot I've seen, but I love the photo for its glow of authentic happiness. Very well done.

Thanks for the great comments. It was a luck shot really. I guess if you press the shutter enough times, something decent has to come up sometime, right (laws of probability)? Ok, i guess i should have noted this earlier, but the mother is actually my mother, and the bride is my new sister-in-law. Thanks for the criticism, i really appreciate it!

 

I am very impressed by the quality of my prints using NPH film. Now i know why everyone says to use that during weddings!

great looking bride! wonderful expressions!

totally agree with Lars. again, very beautiful bride

Really nice portraits of your mom and the bride. I agree with the note about the focus being a bit soft on your mom, but it's really crisp on your sister in law, so I'm guessing that maybe you needed the lens wide open. Someone else mentioned wanting to see more of the photo on the left, but I'd suggest going tighter on the bride to further emphasize the feeling of closeness between the two subjects.

 

BTW, the sepia comes through much better when I open it in Photoshop. I like what you did there.

 

I also think it's safe to saw that we're nitpicking the image because we've got a passion for photography. I've got shots that aren't executed this well in my personal wedding album because of the emotionial response I have to them. I'm sure your family won't be looking at or for any flaws in this fine picture.

Love this shot..the smiles..the energy that brings to us is mesmerizing!

thanks for the input rajeev! like i said, totally a luck shot on my part. i need to photograph my mom more often!

A very sympathic double portrait. There is happiness to be felt in this photograph!

Namaste, Helmut
