Thanks radioblurs,
Yeah the sun shining into the back of that tree had those leaves really glowing.
I put this up in my office about a month ago in 24x36 in canvas.
Everybody that walks in to the office walks right up to this picture first and says they just have to have a canvas.....
I'd hate to be the party pooper, but I'm not really diggin' it. The saturation is just out of control and too unnatural looking. I don't like the angle and the crop does nothing for the subject. Also, the DOF is pretty deep for my taste. I think it is a good shot but not great enough as the focal point of a thread. Just MHO. Let's see some more from the set.
Stunning and makes you look twice! I agree about the tighter crop, but everything you hit the mark on. I can imagine a 20x30 metallic print of this. Wow!
Thanks everyone. I agree this is not your run of the mill bridal photo and may not be to everyones taste....but having this large canvas in my office has really helped my large canvas sales, my clients seem to love it.
I will post more from this set later.
Awesomeness. My favorite time to photograph nature, and you def. did it justice. Tighter crop from the top may work a bit better, but I like it a lot regardless.
Hi Tony,
These are just some examples of a style I like to shoot.
I have plenty of close ups of her.
She was definitely a pretty bride and a real sweetheart as well.
My personal favorite is the third one as well.
Her request was to have lots of fall color in her shots.
Thanks

+1 on a tighter crop. It's a bridal shot, not a landscape. But, either way, its a beautiful capture.
i'm a fan of tighter crops as well, but if you check out WPs like Beckstead, he does this type of shot all the time-evan (baines) calls them landscapes with brides in them i don't think the bride is "lost" in this shot, she's still the center of interest IMHO-just wanted to add another perspective on the concept of bridals in general-i think there's room for both styles of shots
