Let me know what you think of the shot/framing/post. Much appreciated!

I think its very nice. Framing and focus looks good. I feel that there should be more detail in the man's black suit, but I know that can be difficult. Maybe clone out some of the white spots on his jacket by the pocket.

Thank you! I actually have another version with more detail, but I increased the contrast a hefty amount to really accentuate the black+white aspect of it.

Nice image, but I'm a color junkie. Might sell as a stock shot.

Take the color and you must show the art part of it.
You did well.

But if I am pushed to critique this nice image then must add:
What I don't like here (Image being the Beginning of Positive side of life) is how the fingers of Bride are oriented. Not your fault that middle finger is always longer but the symbol shown here may be taken into a wrong way and a nidus for argument when everything should show and promise a prosperous future.

Here is the color version; I personally like the B+W better with this image, but to each their own! I usually prefer color myself.

Here is a version with less contrast:

i like the last one best, but the blur you introduced is bothering me a bit by haloing the sharp edges, but im being picky.

otherwise it is a very nice simple shot that conveys the point and purpose clearly.

You know what.... I didn't even notice the halo's until you mentioned them. Now I can't unsee! Thank you.
