Really dramatic and beautiful. Usually bridal shots don't do that well in a free study but I hope this does well for you. It deserves it. Nice contrasts and tones. 8

Comment by Covert_Oddity:
This is almost great, but for me not quite right. It feels slightly "over posed" for a supposedly candid shot (I realise it's not candid, but you know what I mean).

Also, I think because you have partial silhouette for the faces but then detail in the dress it doesn't quite work. A little bit of fill light, perhaps even from a very subtle reflector would have made the world of difference for me.

Not sure the toad is enjoying this very much. I like this idea but I might have taken the shot so that you could see the toad and it's crown from a little higher angle. The tones are just right.

I think the crown is a little distracting. I think I would have used a slightly deeper depth of field to get the frog's nose in focus, but I love the overall feeling of this image.

That appears to be ex-royalty. Certainly a very different sort of subject!

Great idea. Wish all of his face was in focus. Love the hands.
