I too agree that the person should remain dark. I don't think the picture would benefit by making the sleeper more prominent. Right now, the person is a bit of an afterthought or something you notice later and go "Oh, there's someone down there!" That makes you look longer.

 

Nice shot.

An excellent example of capturing elements of the story as they unfold. With this shot, it is apparent that there is something interesting to the right of the image area. The fact that everyone is looking that way makes us interested, while the brides reaction to it makes want to peek over and see just what it was!

Absolutely wonderful with the colors and all. Where I live, we don't have colors like that. It's either green (spring/summer) or brown (dead). No in-between.

 

I agree that the composition could be a bit stronger. I understand that control of that could have been limited by the distance of the shot. Maybe you could have created an interesting shape, playing the dark versus the light and paying extreme attention to the line that the trees create across the top.

Otherwise a beautiful photograph indeed!

Tell me what you guys think of this fashion-inspired portrait. We

wanted to do something a bit different for their 1-year anniversary

pictures.
