p.1 #1 · Fairy tale..

Getting married on a Castle with a bridal portrait on the drawbridge...I guess that might be the fairy tale for some....

First of all, this portrait is executed very well. It's a good B&W conversion, the whites pretty much all have detail (can't tell around the top of the dress and flowers), and the pose is good. My FAVORITE part is the look on her face. It kinda gives a "I'm not the little princess you thought I was" or "I'm up to something" feel to the photo, and I love that. It adds a little drama to a photo you would expect to be too perfect and dainty. Great job, and great spin on the bridal portrait!

I don't think that it's the same local. The door is different, the planks are running opposite ways and I see no chains in shot #2 (if that's what you were referring to anyway).

They are both beautiful btw! Getting married in a castle wouldn't be my dream come true, but whatever floats her boat...

Hi Ben and Kathy,
No the second photo is not mine.
For some reason..Prof Fate thought it would be a good idea to post his own Castle photo in my Fairy Tale thread instead of starting his own thread.
Whats up with that?

Didn't you realize this was a post your best castle shot thread? lol.

No wonder I thought the bride's hair looked alot darker in photo #2.

Don't want to speak for Cathy, but what I think she means, and I noticed it too, is that, in the OP picture, the greenery on the left is very...."cartoonish" would be the best way I could articulate it, looks very strange.

To me the door, chain, and brick look 'cartoonish' as well. Don't get me wrong, excellent photo of the bride - just interested in the surroundings.

Now I am with you.
The background is IR the bride is not.
The door was a dull brown. IR added contrast and a more fantasy feel to the photo.

Cathy I agree, the look on her face makes the shot.

The PP on the OP's shot is a bit HDR or something (over sharpened? Over the top? Bad?). I see this the most on the bottom of the dress, the wood planks.

See note above.
It is an IR effect.

Yeah, that's what I meant Chris. Didn't mean to sound harsh if I did. I would love to see the original as well, w/o the surroundings looking "cartoonish." I still think this is a great shot.

I will try and post the original in this thread later. It looks very different as you can imagine.

lovely bride - IR doesn't work for me.

what a weird location. the wedding on your site with full pictures of the venue make it look like a mini-golf course.

Beautiful shot!

The lighting on her face does look a bit unnatural though. Was it dodged a bit? It seems a bit out of place from the lighting on her body.
