Hey,

This is from a wedding I recently shot as a favor. This shot really popped out at me and I was wondering if you like the PP and the shot.

Please don't hold back in any critique.

I dislike the selective colouring, but otherwise i think it's kind of neat. Is this the groom feeding the bride wedding cake?

i also dislike the selective coloring, it's not his ring finger, so there's no need to hightlight that ring on his right index finger.

Nope. It took me a while to work out what it was, I don't like the expression, and the lighting's funny.

I think this shot would be alot more effective if the lady was in focus rather then the hand. Also, in this situation, more lighting would have been better.

Ah, I didn't even notice that. in that case, I kinda feel the same as the others. I would have preferred it if she was in focus.

That's not his index finger...it's not his traditional ring finger though either, unless he's a lefty and this image was mirrored. ;)

IMHO, it would be better if the focus were opposite. I wish the woman's face was in focus!

agree with other. Better to focus on an expression rather than on a hand.

I think her expression looks a bit pained and comatose

All my eyes see in this picture is a big hairy hand. The selective coloring makes him looking like he's wearing a band-aid or something under the ring. Just doesn't work for me.
