I love the shot but I feel that the Depth of Field is too shallow to work for me. I just wish both her eyes were in focus. what a moment to capture though! and I like the dark desaturated tones. are you a fan of Joey Lawrence's work by any chance? (//www.joeyl.com/#)I'm seeing a lot of the same types of PP in your work. Lovely stuff.

this is perfect. sorta reminds me of the beginning of the film "Moulin Rouge", that fantasy antique look. Brilliant! and very good choice to use what looks like a high pass filter on her (though I could very easily be wrong). I love it, Fav.

I'm going to have to favorite you after seeing this. It took my breath away. It somehow evokes a deep emotion. I can't explain it. I wish you could have used a lower ISO (just to get rid of some of that noise in the flooring), but otherwise the lighting and mood is just right in my book. I could stare for hours. Thank you!

Originally posted by Mephisto: haha, this would be a nice shot for the current "body parts" challenge...;D but honestly, what exactly did you try to achieve by cropping it like this?

I guess I wanted the photo to be about the flowers, not the women holding them. I was struck by how well the bridesmaids posed themselves without me asking them to. Then afterwards, I noticed how the flowers made a cool half-circle with the Bride's bouquet in the center. It seemed too perfect. So I messed with the crop to get it right. Then, I was just experimenting w/photoshop (learning for the first time actually) and decided it would be a cool image to mess around with selective color and blurs. Long story short, I dunno, I just saw it that way! :)

Thanks for the comment. I wish I had shot this image recently so I could enter it! It does seem a little tacky coming back to it again. I still like it enough to put it on here though!

Brilliant! I love it. Very cinematic. It really tells about the moment. I feel like I know them well just from the image. Nicely done.

I love everything about this shot. The innocence, the mood, the lighting, the smile, the whisper (?), the tone. Very nicely done. Very natural. I wish I could have voted on it before the challenge ended! 10! My favorite image!
