I would like some feedback please. Thanks.
I already know the smoke detectors in #2 are a distraction.
I was looking for overall IQ and composition.

First one, they seem pissed off..and I think its because you have them facing the sun, thus the squints?

Second, WB is off.I know the inside lights are going to throw you, but its really orangey/green.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Actually, the sun was almost straight up and left with an overcast sky. No shadow on the ground.
The color cast is from the inside of the elevator being clad in bronze, brass and dark woods with a single florescent light.

In #1 they don't look very happy, in #2 you might want to clone out the green lights in the elevator. Good job hiding in front of the subjects as I don't see you in the mirror image

Yeah, they were mugging in this shot and the look was on purpose :cool:
Thanks for the CC on these ;)

I would like #2 if the bride 1. dropped the bouquet a little and had her turn her head to camera right a little. 2. not show the elevator door (not a good place to shoot 4 people).

all I can say since I have never done a wedding before is for the first photograph maybe crop it so its only the groom and bride as the guests look grumpy. Maybe you got them at a bad time but I would crop it from the belly up and cut out the rest. 2nd photograph looks good it's to bad if you didn't just have the bride standing there with her flowers, great work as a second shooter I bet the experience was a blast.

I think these are suffering from compression. Keep at it though. Weddings are rough..

dr, I like them alot, good job. I don't see an objectionable color cast in the second. I think it looks quite natural. The first looks like it was planned and gets the attitude across for the shot. You should feel good about these pics.
