what do you think?

What do you think of this picture? I really like it, but I feel it is a little dark.
It was already lightened in photoshop.

I like the concept. it's pretty tough to give much feedback with a little picture like this though.

The only critique I can give is that it looks tilted slightly.

Yes, I agree with both of you...
It is one of those photos that leaves a person not really knowing what to say.
It is like when a person tells you that he or she and him or her broke up.
What do you say? Good for you or that's too bad....

His face is awfully dark because it was turned away from the light source. An on camera flash would have popped some light straight into this capture and brightened it up without adding any additional exposure to the background. His tux would have also benefitted from some additional exposure.

This is the third image I have seen of this couple and in none of them could I clearly and fully see the bride's face. I assume she is beautiful.

Lighten it up a little more. If you're afraid that the dress will get blown out, lasso the dress (in ps) and then select inverse, then lighten the rest of the photo up. Better yet, try dodging the groom carefully if you have the tools.

As ajbalazic said, use the dodge tool in PS to lighten up the groom.

The photo looks like it has been cropped, but I hope the original has more room over their heads and around the bride's dress. You will need space when you matt the photo if they want it framed. Just a thought.
