the marriage

last Saturday, a couple on the stair... thank you as always for your time and

impressions

Nice post processing, giving it that vintage style, well done.

Cheers

A nice image but the skull tattoo is distracting. It draws your attention away from the bride in my opinion.

Ok, so it's only getting an average rating of 4.33  that keeps me humble :)

As for the tattoo on her left shoulder, couldn't very well edit that out without insulting the bride, it's part of her...

Thanks for the comments!

You can edit it out for your own work. If this was paid work (and actually even if it was not) then you own the rights to it so you are free to manipulate it as you wish. I do it all the time.

Tattoos can be very distracting in portraiture as our eyes are naturally drawn to something that our minds think should not normally be there.
