Two Bs gets an extra 2 points from me! Lovely bride, true, and composition works. Lighting is good, too. Try different points of view for more interest and drama, perhaps?

Maybe needed a bit of fill in flash and bride looking up.

Bride? Really? She looks so young. Beautiful image no matter what though.

Lovely girl, dress and flowers. The back ground is sooooo dark we loose her, all definition is gone. More light or different background.

Beautiful, certainly. But I miss eye contact, and the background is too in focus. (7)

This is a fine image. There isn't much to draw in the viewer who doesn't know who this person is. Your camera angle is a typical height and isn't giving us a view that is unique to the occassion. The DOF chosen is very deep and doesn't blur out the background enough to make your bride the center of the shot. The foliage being so close to her prevents a blur of the background even at a larger F/stop. With her looking down at the flowers we are drawn to them, but with the crop and zoom you've chosen, there is not enough attention made to the flowers so the eye again drifts off to other parts of the image. I would have tried to use either a higher elevation for the shot, or lower angle looking up into her eyes. I'd choose a large F/stop and focus on the flowers in her hand making her face and body somewhat out of focus. The bouquet to me is the focus of the picture and I would have worked towards making the viewer appreciate the moment by using emotive elements in the capture. 5 - danny

technically good picture but lacks a wow factor could have done better with a better background
