Very cool effect, but I think the cakes themselves are a little too soft. The wedding (im assuming) cake is one of those things where the details are what you pay for and I think that the star bursts steal the focus, and the soft focus on the cake loses the details. I know this is one of your older ones, but this was the first one that I didnt really care for.

The burnt upper left corner is very distracting. I would crop if out or better yet, reshoot in better light (if possible). The flat light in the top right corner and the way the shadows fall make me suspect that this was shot in midday light (I could be wrong about this). This might come out much better if shot closer to sunset or sunrise. I would also prefer to see the bottom of the lowest fall. I like the composition, the diagonal of the lowest rock ledge make the falls more dynamic.

I think this one feels tilted which is weird because the stairs curve and you'd think it would always seem titled but I think if the bottom edge was parallel to the first step that it would be much better. It could use some heavier processing to enhance the spooky and or magical feel that the light and moss are eluding to as well.

Beautiful woman and a lovely picture. Only nit-pick is the distracting stained glass at the back of her head.

Very nice portrait, however it seems that the focus is slightly off.

Beautiful Bride. The image is lacking sharpness and oomph!

I like this photo in Black and White. I wonder how it would look in Sepia as well, for more of the "old time" feel.

The title fits perfectly, with the one young lady looking away. Your timing was great!

This is a stunning photograph, focus, clarity, sharpness are all spot on. The light was perfect that day.
