Pacific Grove, Ca

1. Kangaroo Paws (I think that's the name)

Eeeek, that bad that this warrants no comments?

It probably just slipped through the cracks! Not sure if you wanted C&C but if so, here's mine:

#1. I like it, nice flowers, perhaps slightly on the dark side. I'd probably fill in the white in the top right in PS5 with some content-aware fill so that eyes are drawn only to the rings.
#2. As part of a set or "story telling photo set" it'd fit in, on its own it's more or less just flowers (and some lint stuck on the leaf)
#3. Bit small picture, but the B&G are out of focus from what I can tell, and it seems they are the focus of the picture.
#4. Nice, I like it. It could use some fill light and I almost want to be 1 more meter to the right to get a bit more of their faces but that might be picky. If there's more of the water on the right I'd crop them so that they're left.
#5. Looks fun, but I have no idea what they're doing, is it tug of war? If so, the angle should probably be from the front or more to the side.
#6. Feels dark, wish I could see them cutting the actual cake.
#7. Feels very dark as the flowers are mostly just black, probably easy to fix in PP. Nice capture of the flower toss though.

Looks like a nice wedding location, reminds me of somewhere I've been but I can't quite pinpoint it.

Thanks

1. Nice pointing that out...didn't think about it

2. You're right (I think it's spider-webby-stuff)

3. The focus is (should be for this pic) on the iceplant in front of the lens. My goal was to have them a little oof.

4. Ok

5. You're correct...should have done this in a bit different location. There is a bench I had to shoot around and where I could stand was limited because I didn't want the bench in the shot but in hindsight we could have just shifted 5ft in one direction and removed the problem completely.

6. Me, too. I tried to be accommodating to the family, but I should have just put myself on a chair or something. The problem is that to his right (my left) was the wall and no room for me. To her left (my right) was all 80/100 people crowding in. Thought I should have just put myself in front of them...another hindsight

7. Yes, they're incredibly dark purple. Would you just select the flowers and lighten them up in PS or would you have lightened up the whole picture?

Yeah, bummer on the "squeezed in" spot. I know guests don't like to see the camera man instead of what's happening with the bride and groom

On #7 I would lighten the whole picture a little bit, it feels on the dark side, and then if needed lighten the flowers up so that they're more visible.
