what a moment you've captured! nice composition. i hope this isn't getting overlooked in this super-sized challenge, and that you are getting good feedback. i do find that soft focus at the bottom a bit distracting, but hey, that's just my opinion. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!

Nice desat here. Great pose, like the noise. Even the haze at the bottom works well. As far as wedding photos go, this is a good one.

Nice use of selective desaturation. I am wondering about the hazing white accross the bottom. Image seems a tad grainy. Nice capture of the candid moment.

Good use of selective desaturation. I could see this in a portfolio or sample book easily.

Shame about the limited depth of field. The selective desat doesn't work for me, and the mood is a bit heavy on the syrup for my taste... not helped by the faded border which seems a bit overkill. You did capture a good moment though.

I love the idea... For my tastes, I think I would have kept the flowers in color, but muted the color just a bit. It feels like it over powers the scene and doesn't let me absorb the rest of the image.

Very nice composition. Like your decision to desaturate. Subjects seem a little grainy and find the dodging (I think that's what you've done) at the bottom is somewhat distracting. Focus cood be a bit better. Still a great candid moment.

Very nice shot but would be better if you could see more of their faces.

the faded white border would be a lot cooler if the background weren't white.. as it is now, it looks really random because you can only see it on the bottom
