p.1 #1 · Portfolio worthy?


I'm on the fence about this image. Part of me says "yeah it's a cool shot and I should include it on my website". The other part of me says, "naw"

What say you?

I like it...portfolio worthy I'm not sure but I'm bad at that sort of thing. If I may add a small unsolicited suggestion I think it would look good as a 16x9 crop or similarly panoramic. It has kind of a frame from a movie feel to me and the top portion of the image could go bye bye. :-)

Looks artificially dodge, and doesn't have any dramatic impact or emotion wrapped into it. IMO

No. It's a nice picture but I know you have better stuff for your portfolio.

I like it. Your eyes just jump to the couple, and the setting sun adds to the ambiance. You can see what looks like dodging on her right (our left), but I really like how the couple holds your attention in this shot.

Nicely done!

I think with a little post processing this would be stunning. It does seem quite different from your other work. This one here is much more romantic. IMHO

Here's the shot with a different crop. I'm still on the fence. I'm leaning towards not using it.

Every portfolio consultant, advice column, Internet guru says the same things.
1. If you don't LOVE it, leave it home.
2. The portfolio is only as strong as the weakest link.
3. Open strong, close strong and hide anything you are unsure of in the middle. If you are going to use it, put it in the middle.

Just my two cents.

For the most part I like the shot and what you have done to it in post. What is making me say "no" is the setting. I looked at it immediately and wondered how you convinced the bride to go out there.

The new crop is signifcantly stronger, but, not portfolio worthy IMVHO. It seems all the elements were there, what could have been done to make this a killer shot?
