Hahaha didn't think so !

not really a constructive reply is it Kev. I know I am not the best tog in the world so when someone gives me constructive crit I take it and am grateful for it. it seems to me that you just put your photos up for personal comments but then don't comment on anyone elses images. My opinion of your shot was valid. The shot lacks any interest, is flat,the tilt is un-nessesary and adds nothing to the shot and on two computers your groom's suit is a mass of black lacking in any detail.

so whats with the haha I didn't think so? was this a test to see if anyone would come up with a negative comment? If so, did I pass?

I think from now on I wont comment on your work again cos its obvious from your remark to my valid comments that you treat any reply with a degree pf contempt. To be honest, if that is the case- and I'm willing to hear you say it isnt- then why are you putting images on a forum in the first place.

Right, here we go! to start with, I second what Kenny has said, the flash is far to harsh and the shadows cast are a distraction along with the tilt.

The poses look a little awkward, the woman's nose should be in view (its generally smaller, and better looking then a males), her right hand looks weird/broken, and because the bed linen is white its adding weight on to her (helped by the pose).

And finally, be mindful of objects in the background like an ugly telephone

To the suggestions for next time bearing in mind that everything I say I was not there at the time, do not know the space/lighting scenarios that where there or how cooperative the couple where so everything could be relevant or irrelevant;
Try getting the bride to lift her body up off the bed by pushing on her arms, this should break up the mass a bit, nose to the front, get her to break her fingers (figuritivly speaking have the fingers separated rather then a mass like she was playing a piano).
Move objects out of view where possible,
If your going to use flash bounce it, if you are going for the spot light effect make it as narrow a beem as possible in the instance like this only lighting up the faces in the shot, ORRR, balance the flash with ambient by switching on all the lights in the bedroom (manual and metering plus bounce flash I find the best way).

if none of these where possible at the time forget what I just said

Ya know what i find petty? when someone gives honest and well thought out cc and that is then posted on fb as if it were a personal attack, if you want smoke blowing up ur arse then show friends and family, why post a photo on a photography forum if you don't want cc?? i will also echo what Kenny said Kev in that i can't remember the last time you took a few minutes to look at someone else's work on here and offer the same courtesy back. We are all constantly learning and even if you don't agree with the cc that is given then fine but curt and sarcastic replies are hardly constructive for the forum, someone has still taken the time to look and type a reply to a post

[Jayne-Yorks]

and for the record the cc was spot on, straightened and with a better crop and more time taken with the noise reduction (tho why you did that i don't know if you were using flash?) so the blacks don't become too smooth i think it could be a nice shot, i can't see a 'yes' to 'can we edit your images' so i can't show you what i mean

[ahab]

Jayne, how can you possibly edit the perfect piccy

[kevrayner]

Oh dear...Now who is getting petty ?
