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.

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.

Marcus,
These are great images, very well done mate.
For me personally number #2 is the weakest but I like the experimentation with the veil, it just doesn't do much for me.
#4 I like the composition, but the lighting / processing or something seems a little weird to me. I'd be keen to know what if anything you've done to it to achieve this affect. (Amazing dress by the way).
#1 Simple, affective and a great opening for their album
#3 A gorgeous moment and nice processing, if I had to be super picky.. perhaps not the most flatterying pose for the bride, and I'm in two minds about the hair hiding the face. It kind of offers a hidden privacy which I like, but I think it might of been stronger with more of her face showing.. and less of her expose skin to distract (again being SUPER picky here).
#5 Stunning I really love this one, and don't have anything to offer criticism wise, nice strobist style! Perfectly balanced composition, the lighting is well controlled. Well done mate. Hope I wasn't too harsh.

Haha well maybe in the future there will be some teaching and learning! haha but beautiful couple don't you agree?  Alpha_7 wrote:Marcus,

I know what you mean with "doing much" I think the idea is great, just the capture should be executed much better, but I love the idea behind it, I have a surprising like towards the hiding of faces here...

Amazing dress indeed! I loved photographing the dress! In terms of processing... good question... I can remember securely processing color balance, lifting the midtones up in curves on Jennifer, and to obtain detail in the dress, increasing midtone contrast. There is also a fair bit of cloning and fixing the background and the smidget of grass in the foreground. Alpha_7 wrote:#1 Simple, affective and a great opening for their album

Thanks for that. I was at a mixed emotion of the hair as well, but I found it to be a great moment captured, they certainly have a spark between them  Alpha_7 wrote:Marcus,
