Engagement: Why am I not in love with this picture II ?

This is another shot from that day. I'm kinda liking it. But it's my first time using multiple exposures to create one shot. I still can't work with my camera's RAW files directly from Photoshop, so I have to work my way around using DPP, PS, jpg and tif files.

This is the original version (my fill flash didn't go off I don't think... I need to keep an extra set of batteries on me... I think they were starting to drain):

The picture is pretty good. My only criticism is that I cannot see the groom-to-be's face better. He's turned at kind of an awkward angle for this shot.

A nice recovery from the original shot.

Yeah, I kept on telling them to give me 3/4 profiles... I think he went 3/4 the other way though

Thanks... I need more practice with this 'HDR' type recovery, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I left a little bit of a halo and the lighting could have been better to begin with, but egh... it's something!

I'd guess that background looks real, but it still looks like the couple was pasted onto it. And there is a canoe coming out of her head

Boats and bridge are going through the head and distracting.

Good pp with multi exposure though.

Her arm is a little hot I'd have made her wear a blouse with sleeves.

Maybe try to blur the edges. They look a little too sharp..

I'll try to work with the lighting a little more to make it POP a little less... thanks.

I think I may have a couple more shots that don't have the distractions. I'll keep the sleeve idea for future reference.

Not sure what you mean. Don't know if I would like the blur around the edges. I'm not a fan of the fake bokeh thing.
