Will I like the composition. I can see the two photos in a frame, matted side by side. They are beautiful images.

Are you doing any retouching to smooth the skin, remove stray hairs around the bride's face (she has sideburns) and do a 5 o'clock shadow removal on the groom? As you know, I wnet to WPPI and that seems to be the focus these days for the finshed product with everyone selling PS Actions to do this. Maybe it's not needed, but, from my viewpoint, that is the big seller now in the wedding market - not just shooting, but finishing too.

Hi Kathy, Thank You for the kind words.

No I do not. This was a budget shoot/ hand them the CD on the way out.

The only processing is a PS action to Copyright and auto contrast to equalize exposure between frames.

Learning PS

Will,

Do you PS the photos at all (except for the copyright and lighting?

I am learning PS and wondering where do we draw the line with the service provided, time spent on shooting, PP and finishing a product.

No I do not in this case. Check out this Link to see my after PS Black & White photo of the train and then look at Asher's before shot. (we shot the same subject) Be shure to scroll to the right to see the front of the engine!

Nice expression on the bride close-up, pitty the guys expression isn't quite as good.

Nice setting, but the sky is a bit washed out and probably would be better with a few more tree behind.

The full length bride shot is just a bit straight on for me and a slight turn to the body could make all the difference here.
