I kinda like this one

Holding the camera above my head... I call this one a lucky accident (funny though, they're happening more often these days...). Keep or throw?

I'd keep it, I like it a lot - and some of our own favourite shots have been lucky accidents (not sure what that says about our actual ability though).

If you're going to cut him off, why not split him directly in half? One of those 'artsy' type pics. And he must be the tallest man on the planet (or you're the shortest) if you had the cam above your head

I dunno Rob, but the more I learn, the luckier I get

The camera was above my head to change the background, not because he was tall! I didn't want sky in the photo.

Good call on the half comment. I like it better as-is, after trying it, but good idea.

I like it, his eyes are a little bit too close to the edge but I dont think that spoils the image, still a keeper I reckon ... couple and their friends will like it ... MOB, MOG's etc will think it was a mistake

I can see where Robs coming from regards the camera angle, it looks like you were stood in a hole if the camera was above your head

Yup, keep it. I've done this tons of times, do a shot on accident while testing/setting up lighting ratios/etc and I'm like "damn, I like that angle!" lol

I am not crazy about it. To me it shows that it was accidental. I think if his head wasnt cropped off then it might work better. But that's just my taste

I agree, while I do find the frame to be filled nicely the head thing bothers me.

I like it! It's a keeper by my standards.

Personally the head thing doesn't bother me at all.

I'll take luck over skill any day. I might try cropping up to lose the hand, but am not sure.

Not sure.. the head being chopped off (especially with the fact you grabbed his full torso and a portion of the legs) and the angle of his body (he seems to be on a slight angle with maybe his left shoulder leaning back a bit too much) kind of bother me.

I am going to have to agree with csm328 on the "split him directly in half" also pull in tighter if going for that effect.

I'd prolly toss it.. sorry

i like it, but i do wish there was just a tiny bit more forehead.

Tim-- too bad you didn't have one of the bride from the other side ...then you can have a set of them and put them together or have them separate when they are not getting along.

I kind of like it, too. I would probably keep it as that would probably be one of my better images from the day. I'm sure you have better shots.

I kinda like it too, but I think I'd like it more if the lighting was a little less flat...
