4. Sam Chinigo (WPD Member & Contestant) - (8/28/2008 11:51:55 AM) Very difficult lighting situation. I feel this image. I love the psoe and the natural light on her face. The blown out window light hurts it though. If this was shot in RAW, try doing 2 exposures (1 for highlight, 1 for shadow) and combine them. You don't want to really balance the window light (because then the detail in the background will also distract)... just knock it down a little bit so it is not so distracting. Great image.
3. Anna Lee - (7/28/2008 8:53:13 PM) Bride looking in mirror is another one of those classic wedding shots, but the beautiful light and composition, make this one stand out. This would not have been an easy shot to take - busy background and difficult light conditions - but you made it look easy and very elegant. Great job!
2. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 6:14:16 PM) I think the bride is absolutely gorgeous and you complimented her beauty well with the composition of this particular photo. Though I have seen similar shots like this one done a few times, your color, lighting and composition is absolutely perfect. Wonderful photograph!
