I totally forgot that this shot was from my 10-20mm until I was peeping the EXIF detail the other day.

I pulled the Wigma out on an E-Session I had to see how it went on people if used at the right angle - I think it did well.

Karizmatik, nice shot of the couple. Colour and composition are pretty good I think, but I think the flares (is that the right word?) are just a tad distracting. I think it would be an easy fix in photoshop, and would add that much more to the shot......Just my two cents. ;)

I actually like the sun flare, which was the reason it was added to the shot - I had a CPL that I angled the light inward to that point to create it, so it wasn't by accident.

Your the first to comment badly on it too, everyone else has loved it, including the couple who paid for the session.

And yes, some simple cloning would get rid of it - But again, it's there from choice, not accident.

So kudos on the 2 cents, but it'll be staying. ;)

Over all I do like the shot, it was just the flare I wasn't big on. But that's just me.......Some shots I like it in, and others not so much.......And some, I just have to look at long enough and I begin to like it....hehe......perhap​s this is one for the later for me.

But really, if you like it and the couple liked it, then that's what matters the most right? :)

I've looked at the other shots you've posted and think they're pretty good too.

It's actually quite funny, because I usually hate sunflares and do my best to avoid them, hence me forever watching my lighting angles and having a CPL handy -- But it just looked right in this one for me, you know? lol

I do appreciate the comments though! And thanks, glad you liked the other shots.

Hey Sam,

All of those shots are outstanding! You sure do have a great eye for composure. Nicely done.

Nice use of HDR - very natural!

Thanks... I typically don't do HDRs but some of those situations absolutely had to have it and I didn't want it to be the super fake HDR
