2. Holly Steen (WPD Member & Contestant) - (9/19/2008 6:23:20 PM) Ok... I like it and I don't for the same two reasons. I wish they had their backs to the photographer, that way wouldn't be squinting to see their faces. But I like that they are annoyomous. It makes some mystery. I would have never ever gone this far out to capture the landscape, but you made the subject more part of the landscapes than nature. You must of been out of breath by the time you done running back and forth to give them instructions. I might suggest a bullhorn next time for this shot.
1. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 7:10:02 PM) This is a beautiful photograph overall and is very artistic. I love the straight lines, and the skies are beautiful. I would have like to see more detail in the groom and groomsmens' faces, but other than that, an excellent photograph. I'm sure the bride & groom love it!
