Looking for some C&C from a recent wedding I shot. Not sure what I think about the PP on this. Would like to get some other opinions.

I like the feel you're going for but IMO, the Yellow/Green is a bit too much. I'd back it off by at least half...

BTW, did you induce the bokeh in post? They look a little cut & pasted.

The effect needs to be applied much more subtly. This looks jaundiced.

it came out a little darker then what it appears on my computer.. so after seeing this, I definately need to lighten it up a little. No pasting done. Just added blur around the couple.

Image replaced.

I agree with this, background needs to be more subtle.

i've never done this before, but it seems to me that the reason they look cut 'n pasted is that you have blurred all of the ground to either side of them, whereas if you have used a shallower DOF when taking the shot, and used no blur PP, a small part of the ground to either side would be in focus.
