This is another shot I took at the wedding I just happened to walk past yesterday. I've done some severe PP on this image as I liked the actual photo of the bride but there was some very distracting background. I'm not sure if the blackness has taken away and is too much of a contrast to the white of the bride etc. I was just mucking around with PS and trying something a bit different. Would appreciate thoughts/comments good and bad. Cheers.

I deleted the actual image here as in hindsight it was not really worthy of a post...appreciate initial feedback but perhaps I shouldn't have posted it. hehe.

Yeah not a fan Geoff, smacks of being PS'd in I'm afraid. Tried selecting the background then Gaussian Blur with radius 10-15 pixels? Instant creamy bokeh.

Yah...thanks Trent - good idea re gaussian blur. I just did a quick job on it now. I think this is better:

Agreed, the gaussian blur does wonders to the image.

Me too, nice work! Missed a little bit on the lower left hand side of her veil I think, but otherwise nice. Is there a slight cyan cast there? Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, it's late.
