Wow, they're large files you've linked in, the guideline is to keep them 100kb or below.

I like the first two images, the 2nd I really like. The others have obvious problems with focus and exposure - 6 & 7 are especially OOF. #5 is a low contrast B&W conversion, try a channel mixer with added contrast - nice shot though. Exposure for #3's not great. Color is off on some of the images. #7 i'd have left less space above their heads.

I like them with the exception of #6, the white on the right side of the grooms head is very distracting to me. Good job.

Sorry about that.. I didn't even check that... It's fixed now. Thanks

Thanks for the critique... very informative.

#5 was a challenge... The bricks white, the brides white (dress), the railing white. There was an ugly light fixture in the shot that I cloned out as well. I did convert w/ channel mixer, but I'll try to play w/ the contrast some more.

Here is the original

I admit I'm having a problem with WB correction... I've been using the "click on WB" function in DPP, in most cases.. Overall, it's been doing ok for me, but some have not.

Can somebody post an image they believe to have the correct WB (I know this is subjective, but a base example)

Thanks again for you time Tim

That "light" is some guy video taping w/ a recorder that had it's own light source, whom shows up in the BG of just about every photo in that series. :mad:

That sucks, I had the same problem with a woman and her P&S at the wedding I shot, I coudn't even really blur her out as she was wearing all white...very annoying. Again, very great pics, just wish the dude with the DVCam would have stayed out of #6 :)
