Opinions please (1pic)

I need honest opinions..is this picture ruined by bad tennis shoes?? I happen to love the location, the sky, the bride but the tennis shoes have thrown me off! They were married on the beach with no shoes and these were all he brought for the reception! This is an older picture ..I was updating my website and was wondering if this pic is usable or if I should hide it away ... Kim A.

personally.. i don't like the shoes... my .02

Wasn't the first thing that I noticed about the picture but once you point it out I can see why it'd be a bother.. why was he wearing tennis shoes?

thanks for the opinions guys...I guess he really liked the shoes..like I said they were barefoot during the ceremony..I guess he didn't think much about pictures after the ceremony..most of the pics I took that day I tried to hide his feet but this one I guess I forgot..

the shoes bother me

the shoes bug me as well... maybe some serious clone magic and turn them all black would help?.. but the lines in the background annoy me a little bit as well... something about the walls..

I do agree..thats why this picture has been hiding away..I was never quite sure if I liked it or not..My husband is also a photographer and he dosen't like it at all! oh well..it is such a neat old building..

The shoes only bothered me after you pointed them out. Incidentally i'd have put them a bit further to the right of the frame, but the arch is well positioned.

I didn't notice the shoes until you said something. I don't think they they look GOOD, but I don't think they ruin the photo

Thanks Tim and Lindsi...I think its probably OK for my website..just not a 11X14 enlargement!!

the second thing I noticed was the shoes and was like huh,,
making them black would fix it.

The first was the blue sky which is why I'm kinda so-so on it.
I don't care for pictures where I have to hunt for the message.

I personally don`t like the shoes, but it was their day, even for a man, he would have known he was going to have his photo taken.

I think that as you are using a picture for a website/portfolio, it is fine to use this one. it is a well taken picture, and it is no fault of the photogs that the dude wore sneakers.

i would use it to demonstrate your abilities, and not worry about the clumsy dress of your subjects. Not a bad shot all in all

Sorry, I have to go with the "don't like the shoes" brigade. They jumped out at me. I know the B&G can wear anything they like (?) but when the Bride is wearing a full traditional wedding dress, he just looks like someone that happened to be passing!

Just a quick go (not perfect by any means - but it gives an idea)
