3. Sam Chinigo (WPD Member & Contestant) - (8/24/2008 2:33:56 PM) The exposure and composition could have been much better here.
2. Holly Steen (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/31/2008 3:12:17 PM) How cute! An engagement shot! I like the energy and the heart in the photo. I think that the couple probably loved the ideas. I am not sure of the creativity in the shot, but on the most part it is cute. Technically I would give the advice to leither make the background white entirely, or show all the colors with blur.
1. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 10:09:44 PM) This doesn't seem to be a wedding photo, so I am not sure why it is in this contest to begin with. But for critique's sake I will say that I like the silhouetting on the photo, and the background could have been less blown out, but other than that this is a nice photo.
