Our Wedding..the pro shots - Part 1

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.

These are not really for a critique, just to show you how happy we are/were with our photographer for the day, Vanilla Bean Pictures...

These were all taken at Fairy Bower, in between Manly and Shelly beaches. We were exceptionally fortunate with the clouds/lighting/sunset..

Only a bit dodgy?

Love the first of these, Geoff. Could you just have the horizon straightened? Leave the rest of the image as is. :)

The last pic in this series is by far the best IMO. Angled pics are all well and good so long as they do not include a prominent horizon line - it always reminds me of the film ”Stop the world, I want to get off” or in this case, fall off :)

Thanks guys..
Yep..I'm dodgy..I call these shots (and our relationship status really) beauty and the beast :)
Gary/Chris, I could have the horizon straightened but it really doesn't phase me/us at all....I find this 'artistic'. For once, a crooked horizon doesn't bother me.

The last is a great shot. If i had shots like these from my wedding maybe they'd be on the wall instead of in an album in in a box in the back room.

Great photos Geoff, sincere congrats to you both.

You were both game getting out on the edge of the pool etc, and the effect was good.
