thanks for looking!

I like the colors. I would like to see #6 without the blur.

Great job for a first wedding as second shooter. I am sure they will be very happy!

No 3 is a great shot.
No 2 is nice but is too dark.
The blur on 6 is a bit clumsy - you can see where it starts.
All round though an excellent set.

Picture 1 is better without the smoothing on the skin. I didn't like the previous version. Still some pics here with smoothing on the groom. Dislike it. To feminine.

Picture 3 is bril. Loving that one. Nice idea and composition.

Really dislike the blur 6. The picture would be great without it.

I really love the last one!

1 OK shot
2 under exposed, needs the people brightening up.
3 Quite cool. Clone out the last cut in half girl on the right.
4 Nice. A bit too much glow for my taste though.
5 Nice moment. Lay off the skin smoothing.
6 Nicest shot here. It is strong enough to do away with the blur IMO.
7 Interesting shot. The blacks are a bit overpowering though.

A good set but the PP needs a little attention here and there.

thanks everyone! for the record there is 0 skin smoothing on the groom in this set. absolutely none! as far as #6 the bride shot, the previous version was without the blur and the general consensus was that it could use the blur.

tony, scroll over

she's not cut off, your screen just isnt wide enough

thanks for all the comments guys!

Stephie · 16th of May 2008 (Fri)

much better!

5 could use a little less smoothing.

elader · 16th of May 2008 (Fri)

the post processed blur in 4 and 6 needs to go - it's not done well. 5 is too smooth. The last one if freaking great.

Sorry about that. Rubbish work computer!

Nice reworking, they are better than the initial set you posted up.

elader · 18th of May 2008 (Sun)

Although its a nice image, the blur in the 6th is still awful. Try selecting the background right up to the girl, saving it to a new layer, and carefully erasing the bits of her left, then blur it, then erase any blur that spills over onto her.

do it slowly and carefully.

SuzyView · 18th of May 2008 (Sun)

Very nice. Yes, the blur on the 6th shot isn't my favorite, but is a good try. The last shot I thought was brilliant. The clarity of the portraits is nice. Congrats.
