ok, so if you are looking for a more serious critique...

1) never do selective color voluntarily...only if the client insists. nice lighting, and good exposure - you were outside, correct?

2. i would have been closer and used a wider angle IF it was available to you. also the angle at which you captured does nothing. makes her look like she only had one foot and no head, much like someone would carry a corpse. i see from your signature you have an 11-16 - use that next time.

3-4-5 - these look fine from the small pictures that are available. nice expression in the last one, if she were posing for it and it was not a candid...make sure necklaces are straight.

other than that - good job -

I second janetg on selective color. It is too dated of a technique now. Only do it if the client insists on it (and preferably pays extra for it...).

The second photo showing the background is nice, but next time, have him bend her back to the side so the camera isn't peering up her dress with a random leg sticking out.

Otherwise, both have good quality and sharpness =)

I can't really comment on the smaller collage ones since I can't see them with very good detail.

Thank you for your input janetg and ShutterSpire, i really appreciate your thoughts and time you have put into this, to say the least....color selection was done due to some artifacts that was on the image itself and they seem to like it-i hope not to stumble into the same decision again.

On #2. I'm agreeing with you on the missing leg; i wish i had my 7D to do that shot and the 11-16mm result into a very ugly vignetting when using with a 5D, sad i ddnt remember to bring my 7D during this shot it was my fault.

Last one i came to find out that her necklace was crooked when i was browsing through the image, in fact she was talking to someone at the moment i was taking the picture.

by the way at the end of the wedding someone stepped on my 11-16mm Lens, broke my lens cap and cheapo tokina had some plastic displacement which was then put together in place.


By the way this was my very 1st Wedding..

HFM.
