Let me know what you think, good bad and ugly I can take it ;) On both the photo and the b+w conversions, sometimes I feel like I just can't get them the way they should be so let me know if it's just me. Thanks

don't really like the pose in 1...they should all be different, or all the same...or thw two groomsmen the same and the groom different...and it looks a little flat.
Love the father daughter dance.

I think the 1st dance could use a vingette to help keep the attention on the couple..

good job :)

1. Looks like you're going for a symmetrical look (which looks fine when pulled off correctly), but, the one guy has his arm up and the other doesn't, which ruins that objective. The B&W conversion seems a bit washed out too.

2. I prefer this shot w/ a tighter crop. Again, conversion seems flat.

3 & 4. Not bad. What are you doing for your conversion? It seems like you are just desaturating it.

5. Nice, blew out the dress though.

Thanks for the advice. The first photo drives me nuts too, I didn't notice it until after I downloaded. I use the channel mixer to do the conversion, but it seems that no matter what I do their skin seems too grey and if I can get the skin looking right all the whites blow out. I also try adding some contrast but try not to loose so much of the detail in the tuxes or blow out the dress. Is there a better way to covert, I have some actions for it but I prefer to put my own style on it.
