| it would be a challenge but it looks as if it is accomplishable, would be to copy her left arm and place it on the right side and rebuild the arm, and then reversing it and doing it in the mirrior shouldnt be to difficult. ask if u want help w/it, id love a good challenge like this photo poses. later Jimbo! |

it does look chopped off, sorry
teh black white of the coloured photo, could do with just the bride in colour and the rest of the gang in bw, it seems a tad bit blotchy.
the white of the mothers dress is kinda blinding, but the duo expressions is just priceless.
the soft focus one is a tad soft
defitnelty crop the dancing bride and groom, the expressions are amazing, very very nice shot there
edited to add, what do i know though i have never shot a wedding

I have never done weddings either (and never will!). But here are a few suggestions.
Agree with previous comment about cropping the dancing bride and groom -- this will be a great one after the crop.
For the wedding cake one, would clone/heal out as much of the reflection in the window as you can -- especially the whitish glary stuff at the right -- as they detract from the subject. Should not be all that hard to do, because you can just make the window a uniform color (it would be OK to keep the reflection of the plates at the bottom I think). This will become a great one as well.
For the bride dancing with with dad (I assume this is dad), would lighten his face up just a bit.
For the girl with the missing arm, I would crop her tightly so that the area of the missing arm is cropped out.
Agree that the one with the overexposed mother's dress is an issue, but that the expressions of the duo is great -- wonder if cropping out half of the mother (from the right edge) would help (assuming that this area is totally blown out and not rescuable by reducing the brightness of the image just in that area).
Hope this helps. |

i can redo the blown dress thats not a problem, i did contemplate cloning the glass but i was afraid it would end up looking weird.
i think i am going to disagree with everyone on the chopped arm. i like that picture just that way it is and i dont think i will change it before i make prints though i appreciate the thoughts |
