Something about this strikes a chord with me. I love how you chose to keep this in a darker tone.

One of my faves. Would love to see this ribbon. I love the swirling vortex of texture and then the spark of light reflected thru the ball. Very cool composition.

That is great irony lol. What a gift of a moment you have been given. I also love how he is looking in the opposite direction of the woman. I like the pop of color in the foreground too. Candids are so much fun!

Very pretty. I love softness and the glow on her hair. I don't know why, but this shot made me think of a mermaid. Just has a soft air of mystery and magic about it.

I'm a ways away from the strobist technique but I appreciate seeing what can be done. I think it's fabulous that you managed to have his black t-shirt stand apart from the black background. If you had not written anything, I would have thought this was a studio shot. I love the strong colortone of his clothing too. Wonderful clarity as well. And of course - great expression!

This is gorgeous. You can tell that not much editing happened - it looks so natural! I love her expression too. It's almost like she is glaring at you lol. Wonderful catch.

Lol with the two expressions here, this almost reminds me of that painting "American Gothic" - now all they need is a pitchfork. I think it is the smirky face that they have where we would expect only festive and joyous looks to match the occasion. Really, those looks they are giving you are priceless. I love the clarity of the two and the lighting looks cool. I bet the rest of your wedding photos look awesome. Congrats on making it thru your first wedding shoot!

I thought this was a clever idea and what I loved the most, is that you MADE the purple. Fun idea.

I gave it a 7. I am amazed at how you got the frog to stay like that. It's such a cute photo. I think the only reason why I did not give it a higher score is because it was about a frog, with some purple around it. Now if the frog was purple... hmmm.. lol But I think it should have finished higher. For a true example tho of one that REALLY should have gotten a better score, see mine hehe.

Again, I just can't get over how well you have trained your frogs. I'm totally captivated by it all :)

Good for you for beating your estimate! This is a cool capture. I love the wiggly effect the lines and textures have on the wall. I love the criss-crossing rails too. Great vibrant color too. Congrats on doing so well in the challenge!
