Interesting interpretation. Nice capture -- especially making the groom stand out.

This is a cool image. I would have not cropped it so closely, to keep their faces closer toward the center of the image. Their expressions are the story here, otherwise this looks like an ad for tuxedo rental, because the white is what stands out. I'm not sure that I would have desaturated the other faces. Lastly, it's a bit tilted...

Saturation seems funny here, it is kind of destracting

Greetings from the critique club :)

Well I didn´t vote in the challenge but honestly, I wouldn´t have given this shot a very high score. First of all, the challenge theme was shadows and while this shot has one, to me that doesn´t seem like that what´s this picture is about. Secondly, I totally agree with trevytrev, jblaylockrayner and PhotoInterest about the lack of detail and focus and that usually doesn´t agree with me personally and this is no exception.

I really don´t know what else to say, sorry for being so harsh but this image simply is not to my taste, I see at least 11 people really liked it and gave a 7 or higher score so that´s what photography is all about, some people will always appreciate your work and some others need more technically perfect photos (like me) to really start appreciating them.

Try better focus next time and I´m sure you´ll score better, if you want that is.

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

cute idea for the challenge, but I think the lighting is backwards.

the bright background is dominating too much. That big dark thing in the left foreground has no real meaning. At least I can't see one.
