Experimentation with this Wedding

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.

Feeling stale about weddings at the moment, so i thought i would 'jazz' it up a little for this couple...as they seem young and funky (not that i am that old mind you) lol

I just wanted an editorial look for them.....bar 3 which is there for 'cute' factor.....

Would love some opinions on whether these work or not :)

#1 is sensational except for the vertical banding texture thing, I assume you added this in PP? #2 is awesome! #3 is a bit hot with the flash for me (background is beautiful though), and #4 seems a funny crop, too much or not enough. I think either I want to be seeing what she's looking at (zoomed out) or I want her to fill more of the frame (zoomed in); it's a bit awkward at the moment.

I'm going to be the odd one out here I think (and maybe that's because I'm the newest of the members that have commented so far - hence inexperienced), but I really like #1. The vertical striations seem to jazz it up and make it different to the typical wedding photos. I also really like the composition of #2 but find the veil (and the dress to a lesser extent) blend in too much with the floor and background.

I enjoy #2, 3 and 4.

I Kinda like #1, but the brides face isn't saying 'happy' like the other shots. I don't mind the abstract effect thou
