First Bridal Portrait -CC

[Becki_D]

I had my first opportunity to take some bridal portraits on Friday. I was a bit nervous about the shoot and i'm hoping she will like them. I took a number of "traditional" shots because i know the grandparents always like those types of shots. But at the same time i like to get less traditional shots for younger people. So what do you guys think? Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks

I think this is beautiful (I am outside and its so bright that I have a hard time seeing so I will recheck later, but from what I see I really like it)

Please show more

I like it. Only downside for me is the lack of focus on the right eye. With the veil diffusing the left eye it might have been better to focus on the right. Otherwise, excellent. I'm sure the bride will like it :-)

[Becki_D]

Thanks for your comments. I agree Luke, wish that right eye was more in focus. I haven't done any sharpening as of yet, so i'm sure a bit of USM will help somewhat or if i want to really try out my photoshop skills, I might just replace the eye.

Nah, replacing it would be waaaay too hard in this situation. A bit of USM might help. Otherwise it's great anyway ;-)

Wow! That's her eyes with no photoshop? Nice shot btw

I would like to see it as a soft focus B&W

[domethiuos]

Wow, great shot. I hope you don't mind I felt compelled to play in B&W.

[Becki_D]

i LOVE the B/W version, it's awesome. thanks for working on it...:D

[domethiuos]

My pleasure, thank you for shooting such an inspiring photo to play with I shoot my first wedding on May, 26 so I’ve been playing with my PP skills. Good luck to you.

Nice image... I am going to have to agree with domethiuos and others.. the B&W version is stunning

BUT!! I feel silly replying to a thread that is OVER six months old and brought back from the dead ..hehehe

Lovely!

It is surprising to me the difference using the BW. Nice shot!

[lukasgunar]

Really nice shot.

The only distracting point to me is that glare (small white space) in her right eye. I don't know why, but all the time only this tiny area takes attention of my eyes so I'm kind of forced to point my sight right there.

Otherwise excellent picture.

love that image!!!

Beautiful shot. I'd like to see it cropped in more on the right side just before her hair isn't visible.
