Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks a lot for the location info.

Fabulous image. Great colors and I really like the sky. I've seen this location in a number of shots before. Could someone please tell me where it is?

I love the lines of this composition. Beautiful job with the lighting and processing effect.

Beautiful bride complimented by jewels?

Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments.

Thanks in advance for any comments or critiques.

Here is the original.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. There is no noise and no compression issues with this photo. I applied some effects to the entire image, especially the background, and I guess it didn't work for everyone. I softened the colors, etc. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful shot. It really does make you feel small. I love how well you captured the lighting. Good job.

Just because it's your wedding day doesn't mean you can't still

support the home team. Three guesses which team this wedding party is

rooting for. Make that two guesses, it's not that hard. Thanks for

looking.

Thanks again to everyone for the comments. Salvatore, I agree about the dress highlights. I wish I could always prevent this from happening.

Thanks, everyone.

Thanks for any comments and critiques.

Nice lighting and good job not blowing out the bright sky behind them.

Absolutely brilliant colors. Really great. I think you exposed this perfectly. I love the feel and look of it. Excellent work!

Very nice high key image. The hair and makeup set it apart from most others. All your shots like this look very good. Nice job!

Glad you like the effect. The image was taken with the Hoya R72 IR filter attached. In order to focus, you must focus and lock the focus before putting on the filter because it blocks all visible light (I think). So, have the shot composed and focused then put the filter on. Play with the exposures to get something that works, something around 1-2 seconds at f8, iso 200. Just play with it. White balance must be custom set to something like green grass in bright sunlight.

 

Then in Photoshop lots of work in different layers with masks. I use a lot of adjustments to different channels using the channel mixer adjustment while masking out areas I dont want effected. Also some layer work for hue/saturation and more for color balance. By combining different layers using these adjustments you can get some very striking results. I hope this helps. Good luck with your IR efforts.

Very nice work here. Love how the colors show up. Very abstract.

Beautiful image. I was also wondering about the sharp line above the woman's head. I think it detracts a bit from the image overall. Maybe a crop right at the line or blend it out somehow? But, still an excellent piece of work.

Outstanding! Your textures and painting effects are the best. Great shot.
