Hi

For those of you who do weddings, can I have (constructive, gentle?) feedback on these 2 shots, of Bride (Cassandra) & Bridesmaid (Nicki) respectively, taken at a shoot last weekend. I'm not at all au fait with PS yet (to be remedied this week), so these are straight off the camera, but I'd like your comments as to composition and how you think they could have been improved.

Thanks!

*flips head sideways*

Not a critique but one thing I would have tried is a nice strong flash with your cam on manual mode to make the sky behind them darker... I love dark blue skies!

I am not too keen on straight on shots, as per the bride. The bridesmaid shot is a whole lot nicer but needs a tad of contrast. Now to try and put my neck back :wink:

I can imagine in workplaces and homes all over the nation and other parts of the world - people flipping their heads sideways as they browse D70users forums. ;)

The light was really strong, you made good use of fill flash (although the shininess of the bride's forehead and cheeks was a giveaway). Good depth of field, if a little too deep I feel (the railings behind the bride).

So SORRY!!

I didn't even think about the Neck Twisting I would cause - sorry, send me your Chiro / Physio bills! I'll cover up to the first 12 months of Rehab! :)

I've fixed this up, so you can be able to view without pain now! But I can only seem to make them the size as they appear now, sorry.

Thanks for the comments so far.
