The Photoshop dodging might of left a little haze on the couple. My suggestion would be to double light the subject next time and get some more contrast. The light seems too even on the subject therefore making it seem un-natural. Thanks for the gorgeous sky!
1. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 9:52:19 PM) This, in my opinion, is not a creative portrait as it has been done many times. The sky looks beautiful and the bride & groom are well lit, thought the spotlight on them seems to be casting an unnatural coloring on their skin. Could have been executed better, but otherwise a nice photo.
