4. Sam Chinigo (WPD Member & Contestant) - (8/24/2008 12:18:07 PM) Not super creative but definitely well executed Travis. The composition and lighting are very strong, and the pose pleasing. The lines of the railing lead the viewers eye straight to the subject. I think you should be able to score highly in print competition with this. Very nice job!
3. Shutter453 - (8/22/2008 8:28:27 AM) This photo is about symmetry. I would suggest close the distance a bit and push the frame forward, just enough to cut-off the left door frame.
2. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 9:31:03 PM) I am going to agree and say that the fisheye may have been a bit much for this shot. As many times as I have seen a bride looking out the window shot, this one demonstrates very nice use of lighting and composition, and I love the stair railings surrounding the photo and adding a lot of dimension. Wonderful job!
1. DrexlorCane - (7/28/2008 10:17:00 AM) Powerful composition, as the stair handels draws the perspective into the bride. However I'm not sure the use of FishEye lenz is neccessary.
