Not really looking on comments on the actual pictures or the crops, just the PP. Thanks!

Top images is edited, bottom is RAW straight out of the camera

Nice PP.

I think the first set is very nice, tones are pretty much spot on. The second set is also quite good, but the skin tones (especially on him) look abit overdone, and not as warm as the Raw file.

First edit is fabulous!
Last photo is also great composition wise, but the colors are wonky...her arm looks green?


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Thanks! You guys are completely right. I don't know if I through that was alright or simply overlooked it. The couple are both from Mediterranean decent and the skin colors threw me for a loop I think.

I'm having a hard time with this one. I'll get another edit up in a min

First is great but the 2nd seems too "dreamy" for me but I seriously love the first one!

The first is exceptional. However, the second has a problem with the bride's face being red below the eye level but in a harsh line. Both of your improvements still have this strange demarcation which resembles bad cases of vitiligo in Afro Caribbeans and correcting it is playing havoc with all your skin tones, leaving big fujicolour iso1600 sized clumps of grain in the arm.

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna forget about the type of PP I did on that image. I liked the way the vignette turned out on it though. Thanks everyone.

I agree with what others said, the first one is spot on!

I much prefer the second edit of your second photo to the first, but it's still not 100% there.... I think that the darkened background and the focus on the center of the image is gorgeous though (the difference is like night and day to me) but the colour still seems a tiny, tiny bit off in the second edit.

Maybe a little *too* yellow, it looks like too much split toning, but I have no idea if that's what you've done or not.

Try a touch more colour, a slight amount of pink tones, it might work really well. But I'd keep the darkened background enhancement, it really brings out the best in the photo.

First one is fantastic, but the colors on the second one are not perfect yet; but don't give up one the overall processing of the second one. I think it is very nice.

I think I've got the bride down, but I still need to work on the groom.

personaly I think your working to hard to save a photo that has to many flaws to begin with. (sorry)
but why not try B&W?

In the last edit...her dress is blown out above his arm....and the grain in her arm is very distracting to me in all of the edits. Have ya tried a noise reducer on it yet? oh and the purple fringe in the "halo" light is not good either.
