I am agree that background is pretty busy with this windows, plus fourth window is croped. I would remove the fourth window from the image

It's looks like veil is stuck on the wall, i would agree that freezing veil in the air will be more beneficial to this image

i think this picture is pretty good but kinda does not fill the frame

I've always liked this photo. Very creative. One thing you could do differently is to not show the veil hanging on the wall so it would appear as if it is floating in the wind. Otherwise, great photo!

This is a magical shot and so very romantic, like the fairy tale wedding every bride dreams of as a little girl.

Couple of suggestions: bring down the cropping, offset the subjec to the right a bit. I like the concept and horizontal extension, but the veil needs to be hung differently, it disrupts the flow of the illusion.

As I was looking through Streamside Creation photo album, I was instantly drawn to this photo. It struck an emotional cord and tugged on it. Everything in this photo spoke of elegance, romance, and fairy tale...everything a wedding should be.

The shading of the wall is subtle and provides an excellent backdrop to frame the focus of the picture which is the Bride and Groom. The Brides veil "caught" on the wall as though the slightest of breezes captured it as the Groom took his Bride into his arms is very romantic. The green of the lawn presents a good contrast to the sepia tones of the wall and the color of the Brides dress. You could say it reminds one of a "Once Upon a Time" story.
