Love the lighting in this shot, well done and it definitely scored lower than it should have.

Back again. The light is amazing. Ghostly image, at times peaceful, but there is also a nervous tension.

Comment by LevT:
so elegant! :) The left side of the portrait is great (I like the glare), I think the right half is a tad too light - I would make it darker somewhat to balance with the other half.

It's almost feels as though the piano and the bride were floating a few Centimeters above the floor...
I love the theatrical lighting!

Mark,

Mmmmmm...yummy drama with a dark and mysterious hero...or is does he play the "heavy" anti-hero? Ohhhh...the suspense! I can't wait for the movie. My only nattering naybob nitpicking is on a couple of notes...this photo will suffer from those with uncalibrated monitors and your score will suffer along with it. Also, with such a character...I'd like to see exactly that...MORE character. I want to see some kind of deep raw emotion from The Old West (picture Clint Eastwood's challenge "make my day" type of emotion). I see you used the rain as a "prop" of sorts to add weather drama...love that idea! However, to create more drama, I'd like to see the character interact more with the weather and how it's affecting his MOOD! Overall, your black and white photography carries strong weight and the obvious well-honed skills of a first class photographer.

The next time I see Clint...I'll give him your number for a portrait! ;-)

Excellent composition. And lately I've been enjoying the almost over-the-top colors on some color photographs - the colors do work here. Mostly, though, I love those little twists of grass in the foreground - if I reach out, I can feel them!

Comment by Melethia:
Not your usual wedding shot but I'm almost hoping that's not what it is - it's a bit too sad to be a wedding shot. Light is excellent, and I like how the stage/setting is almost personified with the two "eyes" at the top watching her.

Very dramatic capture, especially of the mist, and the glint on his "tools". I feel that the body position could have been better, more dynamic. Instead, it looks like he's between moments.
