All those 7s in your port and no Blue ribbons (until now) how fitting that you win your first with a De-Motivational Challenge :)

Huge congratulations though it's a great image!

For somebody with a highest scoring shot that is so oversaturated in reds that detail is all but lost and also as someone supposedly able to teach the art of photoshop enough to author a booklet on the subject, I find this beyond rude...

Good shot and nice to see you improving with those new lights, keep it up the 6+ is around the corner.

Never quite understood why people with such disdain for this site and the images entered in challenges stay around...

Or maybe I am missing something?

Hmmm, had this tipped for at least a top 10 when I looked through the images, surprised by the low score and position to be honest. I know the stool is not the main focus but it's an interesting take on the topic and very well executed too.

Weddings are not my thing really as I tend to shoot more model portraits / headshots / glamour stuff, but I do know that I really like this image, even the noise doesn't detract from the moment that you have captured beautifully, I am sure any bride would be happy to have this shot in their book.

Hope I have helped in some way or another, feel free to PM me if you want to discuss any of the C/C I have given.

I quite like the concept here, again IMHO it's the cropping that falls a little short, the girl looks a little lost and so the image loses some impact, for a change the arm crop and foot crop doesn't overly bother me ;) and I think that's because the tilt is quite dynamic and her strong look at the camera works well (might have been nice to have a small amount of white in the corner of the eye but that might have lost the intensity in the look).

Here's a crop I think works a bit better.
