I like 43 the best of the bunch except for the focus problem. The side lighting is very nice. The other ones are a mixed bag, the ones I don't like have more to do with the poses than anything. 62 is a nice outdoors shot. 12 has a nice candid feel to it.

Hey Jason... some awesome images in there! Nicely done. Definitely like 68 the best (even with the weird crop on her right arm). You did a great job of capturing their mojo :O)

I'm not a big fan of the "aged" process that you've done here - maybe if you added a bit of vignetting or a jagged/brushed border to them it would pop a bit more (?). Overall a great job!

Left comments on each. I think if I had to pick a favorite, it would be #62 as that is the one that best says to me "look, we're engaged". See my comments though. I think I'd probably crop up.

Might consider giving Focus Magic a shot. I remember trying this a long time ago (in a previous version), and it rocked. I only tried the free demo (crippled to allow for 10 shots back then... not sure what it might be now). It's $45, and might just come in handy. Hey - the demo's free, and you only need 2 shots (by my count). ;O)

Way to go Jason. I looked at each one and left my comment on the pretty one with the awesome side lighting from the window. Even tho he is out of focus, there's something about that one that has a magical "couple in love" kind of feel.

You are getting so good! :)
