Another wedding shot

I liked this one, natural, non stressed photo of the happy couple I took as a guest at a friend's wedding last weekend. The background may be a bit too busy for this type of shot but it does give it some vibe about the situation. Critique/comments more than welcome:

and with a bit more warmth (as suggested by members):

and now with the fuzzy background (a quick job):

Agree on the busy background...

I like the composition and concept, but the WB seems a bit cool for my tastes

Very nice Geoff, I like it. Background seems ok, but then a bit of blur in ps will solve that. The couple will be very happy with that :wink:

Nice candid, natural, happy shot...

The background could be made less distracting with some blur and desaturation, there seems to be a handy sharp edge to use along the car's upholstery you could use...

The nerves are gone and the new life begins - nice shot Geoff.

The brides dress looks to be a bit blue so warming the photo would help :wink:

IMO the warm shot looks fantastic, but would look better with the background people cropped out (or alternatively very blurred).

Warm shot much nicer :)

The Groom is not so blue now (or was he really that blue in real life :D :D )

Gee I'm amazed at the amount of difference the warner tones have made to the shot... I always have trouble trying to get the WB right in landscape shots, spose the flesh tones gives a baseline...?

Warm shot just a tad too warm for my eyes. I'd back it off half way to the blue.
Hell...you just can't win these days can you? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Geoff, good work on the "bit more warmth" front. Now, a bit more fuzz for the background... ;) Great capture.
