My favorite of the challenge. Love the contrast and the shallow DOF. Back to bump you up to 9 and adding to favorites.

Have you gotten any "I'm seeing more than half her face yet?" I like it very much. Artful and lovely. I like the perspective and almost sad tones.

While the intention of the photo was to make the couple happy, once you entered it here the game changed, yes? I have to wonder what point there is in entering a scoring contest if you don't care about the score? Perhaps you were being overly dramatic ;).

I think the girlpower theme was an amusing take on the challenge topic and the pose does a good job of capturing that spirit. Perhaps a crop that gave the girls all the real estate and didn't make them share half the frame with the sky would give their poses and facial expressions even more impact.

The lading lines work well to draw the eye towards the model, though the model is very dark and hard to distinguish in the scene. Very pleasing contrast of the blues against the darkness. One thing that knocks the shot down a bit is the bands in the sky - looks like the processing got a bit heavy on the blues and the smooth transition of tones was lost.

Overall, the lighting is very tough to deal with here without using something artifical (remote flash near the girl jumps to mind immediately), so it was a difficult scene to work with. Overall, I think you made something nice out of it.

Your work is amazing! To think that you are only 17 and taking photos that would be a proud addition to any photographer, no matter their age, is something I want you to keep in mind.... there is no stopping you now!

I say all this only after checking out your portfolio btw.

This is another one that I thought should have been on the front page. Sigh. Sorry. I think it is greatly underrated.

Sharpening haos hit me immediately - behind him, above the rocks, etc. I'll assume that is from resizing for web........?

Otherwise the image is awesome, less sharp and a wonderful addition to any wedding album.

Oh how AWESOME! I love the concept!! The girl power is certainly set in a beautiful scene too which is always helpful :) Good luck!
