Bride from a couple of years ago...

...reprocessed in Lightroom 4. An experiment to see how the new Basic controls work compared to LR 3.

I also did some work with gradient tool and brush tool. (Added color to her lips).

Everything else is done using the sliders in basic panel. (Vignette added after crop.)

Here is the LR4 basic panel and histogram for reference.

And the LR 3 Edit from 3 years ago.

compositionally, her head implies that it is half of her husbands body which isn't a flattering perspective. If the shot was taken further back with more compression, the viewer would not be as focused on size rather than the dyptick between the bride and groom

my 2 cents.

I presume you mean DIPTYCH.

I guess that's not the way I would think for the visual relationship between her and him.

The perspective emphasis was intended. Attempt to illustrate an admirer from afar.

The fake lipstick color is definitely not working for me, sorry. It's so bright and vivid and it makes the edges of it look really messy. I'd also lighten up the eye area a bit.

I think you're right about the lipstick.
