I took these bridal pictures this week... Please critique ... and it's okay to be brutal, especially if there is anything I can fix in PS.

I like the look of 5 and 6. Very nice!

I have to agree, 5 and 6 are my favourites. Lovely :)

#5 is my favorite.

#4 is a bad pose for her. It gives her extra chins.
#2 os a little to soft and the straight on pose isn't straight enough.
# 3 isn't a very flattering pose for her. maybe that pose from above her a little? also not a fan of the background.
#7 just doesn't do it for me. to contrived. and the flash caused a shadow below her right arm. Use your bounce card next time to relieve the hard shadow lines.
#1 is nice, maybe a little less yellow.
#6 is good, but her eyes just aren't "there" ya know?

Good work overall

I think 3 and 5 are best. I think 5 needs a tad more light. Her eyes look a bit too dark to me. I thought they were all pretty nice overall.

Thank you for your comments! You know... I had taken a class where we talked a lot about arm positions and hand positions. And on this particular photo shoot, I completely forgot about the rules I had learned!

Thanks for your time and help.

Thanks for the advice. I've lightened the eyes and enlarged the existing catchlight a bit. See what you think now.

Big improvement there. That small bit of editing really adds a lot of appeal to the photograph :)
