So the groom is the dip? I would crop this tighter to give the couple more of the focal point. I do like the b&w on this, lighting looks good as well.

I agree with Chet, tighter crop. It also looks like it's kind of crooked. Nice PP though.

I like the element of the chandeliers. I see it could be straightened up a little but the tilt isn't so severe that it 'kills' it lol. I think it's a nice shot.


I am super cool n' stuff.

Great shot. Yes, the horizon needs to be fixed. I'd also vignette it slightly to minimize those bags in the lower left, or whatever that is... In my opinion, you could crop out the very top chandelier without losing the effect of the chandeliers. I do like them. Nice shot that will be awesome with a few tweaks! Most importantly, great emotion and movement! ;)

I think the black items on the left are plants. I would clone them out. Other than that I love the shot.

it's a nice shot :) definitely can fix the horizon line. you may also want to try a horizontal crop for a different feel with just the b+g, none of the other elements.

congrats :)

Good dip. Some couples get it and some dont. I think we are all being nitpicky, and its a great shot!

Thanks for the advice and critique everyone! I did tilt the shot a bit in lightroom, as I thought it added some motion to the shot. I didn't think about all of the negative aspects of tilting the shot though :lol:. I will try a tighter crop with the horizon put back. Thanks again for all your comments! :D
