I like the photo but I feel as though I am missing the last little ingredient to make it a wow photo. The grooms skin seems to be off just a bit and I can't figure it out. Have at it.:D

My opinion

Fill the shadows on their left, fill flash or reflector.
Eliminate the massive headroom
Move the shot closer to their faces, move them so that they are off center.
Remove the vignette
Small DOF... move out of focus background.

Maybe something like this.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I like your last crop. It is always interesting to let others pp a photo to see their vision of the picture.
Thanks

I took a shot. It's a little cheesy but I was trying to add some pop. Too much red tho.

I think you need to calibrate your monitor. It's WAAAAAAYYY too much red. And chill out on the vignette.

Needs contrast. The blacks aren't deep enough, IMHO. The WB is also off and there's a distinct shadow line splitting his face. Her teeth need whitened and some skin smoothing wouldn't hurt. I'm not going to mess with it though since it's just a JPEG and a small one at that.

I don't think it'd ever be a "WOW" photo because it doesn't have all the components but some tweaking can make it a lot better.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)

This...plus maybe deepen the shadows a touch...like the black tux
