Used to have a wife called Naoko but I traded her in against a younger/faster model.

Seriously though 2 things.. first thank you for the favs and secondly I really like DOF so this shot hit a point with me I also like japanese girls, strike 2.

Keep being cool dude and if/when you hit back Tokyo way PM me and we can shoot out.

Thanks for posting that. I Like everything you've done to the picture. The cloning didnt stand out to me and i actually had to look to see where you had cloned. The faces in the edit grab your attention more.. over all I really like the picture. There is an absolute contrast in moods in their individual faces.. I hope her choice to marry him brings about a few more smiles than what her face is saying in the photo... ;)
You may have captured the very essence of their relationship... time will tell :)

nice sky but the point of interest (ie the trees) are way too dark

I love this shot. You are asking alot of questions i'm not qualified to talk about. I will say this.. the expressions on their faces are priceless, her dress is amazing and the contrast of the flowers.. beautiful. I like the image as i see it. I'd be interested in seeing a closer crop.. just to bring them that much closer, but thats just me being curious. I like the gradiated blur. (the original would be interesting for me to see as well) not all that familiar with dodging or cloning so it would be a learning experience for me to see the difference :)

This photo has so many good elements. The sun behind the tree and lighting the clouds from behind, the bridge, the brook (lake?) the house, the trees... Great job!

This is a beautiful photo, but does not meet the challenge requirements.
