My wife... probably the most set-up picture I have ever taken. Probably my favorite I have ever taken of my wife. I'm worried some may not think the veil is transparent... I guess I'll have to wait and see...
Wife's guess: 6.3
Mine: 6.8+
Hope I'm not dreaming... really feel this is a solid shot.

well done, bro. nice work on the top ten. I agree with kiwi about the top-cropping, but that's a pretty minor nit-pick. Would have been way hotter if she were wearing the Teef, but it's a little late for that now.
It looks like your opinions when combined and divided with your wife's opinions equal reality....hmmmm, an insight into relationships maybe...anyway, i agree toddhead, solid.
Lovely smile, natural and relaxed, well framed, not sure about the angle, not saying better or worse than straight on but it's good to see it different anyway.
At first I thought it was out of focus and only on closer ins[ection, realised she was under the veil. There are times when the B&W thing is overused and unneccessary - this is one of them I think.
I like the way that the eyes stand out, but the more I look at this, the more I can see that this appears to have been blurred with the eyes masked out. The gauze in front of the eyes appears more strongly defined there than in the rest of the frame. I find that a little distracting. The lovely smile is nice to see, though.
Wow is that a gorgeous angle!!! Its a pretty girl and nice shot too, but just a bit more detail in the teeth and hair would have made it perfect! At least on my end! I love it anyhow...9
I do like the eyes being sharp, sharp sharp. I'd prefer a little more DOF to at least get the hair a little more focused. The blur now doesn't add much and just distracts. Beautiful subject. 7
lovely portrait shot. like the dof and soft b&w. not sure what the white dots are...beading or something? they are a bit distracting to my eye from those eyes and that great smile! otherwise, a beautiful photo nicely done!
Beautiful.. could maybe make more of an impact if it were more contrasty.. bring in some of the darker colours? just an idea.. :) regardless she is stunning and wow what a smile n' sparkle in those eyes.
Wow, I tried a shot like this once, and I totaly uhm, well it didn't work out AT ALL.
So I am giving you a 11, because it's a great pic, it's beautifully captured, it's 100% transperancy and I can not do it, so you are good ;)
