Fun shot but the overprocessed feel on the borders of their little bodies is what bothers me in this shot.

I stumbled upon this again and have to say that I just really am surprised this didn't get ranked higher. After having been away from here for awhile I started restoring my faith in DPC but seeing that some really great photos don't do well makes me very sad.

Anyway, I just wanted to echo what I had said in the past, this is a great shot and the only thing that is issue for me is that you can't see the ducks' eye(s). To me that is a very small part of an already great shot. Great composition, phenomenol (it looks spelled wrong, I can never spell it right) coloring. I really dig this shot.

Isn't it good luck to have rain on your "big" day? :-D

Nice title.

I find my eye too drawn to the purple cast Bokeh in the background though.

Nice DOF. A bit noisy in the background but a nice image overall. *8*

Great composition. The highlights look a little blown out though, this may have benefited from some PS work. *7*

Great shot with a strong visual point. It's sad that people cannot be more open minded about the beauty of this tool of the trade.

Composition & lighting, dead on. Great great shot.

What should I do?

I don't care for the sepia tones in the photograph, they fight with the blue undertones on her nails. I feel like if this image is sepia then the nails should not be in direct contrast to that image. I think a more traditional B&W image would support the nail color. In fact the nails overtake the subject and become the focus in this image. Other than the tones (easily remedied) I think this is a nice capture.
