I just shot in P mode and used a 580exII with diffuser. Shot in RAW and adjusted things in LR then exported to jpg for editing in Photoshop. I'm a landscape and architectural kinda shooter so for people I need advice and editing help to give that "WOW" effect... thanks for looking

I really like #2 and #3. #3 looks a little softer than #2, where it has more pop to it. TFS

LOVE 2&3. I prefer 2, though. The railing in the background is more horizontal. Great photos!

I also like the third one the most. There is just something about the first one that make it look a little off. That shadow is distracting and I think that you must have darkened around them and forgot to do it between his legs.

I think they're stunning (pics and model(s)! ) And I do like the first shot, I'm a fan of the PP ;)

I like the 3rd one a lot. The girl has a nice natural look to her, although she looks mad in the 3rd pic.

As an aside, his attire is bizarre for a prom. Tux jacket over an undershirt only, jeans and brown shoes. I'll admit I'm not up to speed on the latest fashions and the last prom I attended was like 36 years ago. But is this the normal thing nowadays? :cool:

Not sure why but not a fan of the first one. The third one is my favorite.

First shot defenitely would have been better if they weren't facing the ground, maybe facing the camera or looking at each other. Other 2 are great
