Weddings and Different Emotions

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Dan - beautiful stuff mate.
Always makes it easier with a pretty bride, but the first shot is great - exposure, composition etc...very nice!
In the 2nd image - I find the white fleck (light??) above her left shoulder a bit distracting, I'd clone it out... and curve it up a bit so her left eye is a little lighter, but a classic shot none the less...
3rd image - great candid shot!!!
4th - Not sure about it, I see what you've gone for her but the sun wrecks the bouquet, that doesn't necessarily wreck the entire shot but my eyes are drawn to the son spot, which then makes me see that the flowers are well, kinda blown out.

Have the clients seen these? I'm sure they'd be happy.

Stunning stuff as always Dan... That third shot is a cracker!.. what a lovely candid of them! My only niggle is the buildings in the last shot.. (quite like the sun flare btw).. they are crooked... I know that I would be tempted to straighten them.. :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

The photo of the little girl is lovely. Great expression. Nice shallow DOF with the right things in focus and lovely light on the ringlets in the hair. Also like the third shot. First one..nothing really wrong, but nothing really great. Last one...great concept with the low lying sun coming through the middle of the couple but having half of the CBD in the background doesn't work for me. Vertical crop just with the couple is how I'd frame it
