the groom's family

[Rudi]

Here's one from the same wedding as "just married". It's the groom with his parents. I was looking for something a little different from the usual family shots... :)

Rudi,
In my very amature opinion take out the guy looking at the camera and you'll have a awsome shot. Clone stamp him outta there and crop a little so to offset the subjects. As it stands, it's great.:D

Just an idea on what I would do.

... but he's the *groom*! ???

Rudi,

Very unusual, as you intended, but also good!

Would the image be improved if the parents were angled diffierently, so that we see their faces more? Not sure... might be worth a try.

Also, for real fun, have the parents do "the dip" in the background, still kissing. I saw that once, though I don't remember who was in the foreground (bride or groom.)

Small matter: The groom's right hand (I think that's what it is - right at the edge of the photo) should be cloned out, or as an alternative you could have left the image full frame so that we see more of him.

Ahemmm... I had a hard-enough time to get them to kiss! :O
