OK, I can see what you shot for here, however you didn't quite stop the motion enough to achieve the effect I assume you was aiming for. The lighting is nice and strong, but like any shot of this type it has been seen many many times, has no WOW factor and provokes no emotions in me at all. revising my vote from a 6 to a 5

As a pro wedding photographer myself I feel you have made several mistakes with this shot. Firstly it would of benefited from seeing the brides face. Secondly, I cant really make out the expression of the grooms face so I am very detached from the image as a whole. Thirdly I would of preferred this shot with a long focal length, wide aperture lens, it would of compressed the shot a lot more and given it a nice sense of depth. Next up is the whole area of darkness at the bottom of the shot.

As a whole it is a rather poor wedding shot and not something I would expect to present to a paying bride & groom. Revising my vote from 5 to a 4. I hope the criticism is of benefit to you.

OK, the top half of the photo is great, nice soft colours, crisp reflection. However, then we reach the bottom half and it kind of becomes an oversaturated mess. If I had edited this, I would of cropped off just at the base of the lowest post, then maybe desaturated the blue a wee bit.. readjusting vote from 6 to 5.

I am 70% of the way through voting and this is the winner for me.. breathtaking.. I hope this wins.

Finished voting. To be honest this is still the winner. I have a feeling this was taken on a medium format such is the detail - if not then its a phenomenal shot. upping to a 10 from a 9.

Very good use of light and dark - Good choice of exposure, even without the title this photo would be quite self explanatory. Good composition. Doesnt really have a WOW factor though. Gave this a 7 on initial voting. Still stands at a 7.

Lots of detail and incredibly sharp - nice overall colour tone. Good composition but a bit disappointed you cut off the top left of the image. I gave this a 7 on my initial pass. still a 7.
