Great shots Tony! I really like that ring shot. Number three from engagement number two is my favorite. Awesome shot.

What's to critique? All are great shots!

Well ok...I'll give you a critique. There's a little bit of garbage on the lower right of the last shot. Clone that crap out!!!

Yeah, these are fantastic. My only "critique" (I've said it before) is that I don't care for the tilt. Your pictures are good enough that you don't have to make them crooked for them to stand out.

Thanks Jamie. When to tilt and when not to tilt is something I've been working on. I move a lot and talk a lot as I'm shooting, and the horizon line is usually the last thing I think about. Then when I go to process shots, I realize stuff is tilted. Some gets fixed, some doesn't. Some can't be fixed cause of where the edges lie.

So, that's not that it's an excuse, just something I should probably be more aware of. I appreciate the thoughts man!

Then when I go to process shots, I realize stuff is tilted. Some gets fixed, some doesn't. Some can't be fixed cause of where the edges lie.

Its good to know that even very seasoned shooters have this issue. I find I don't really think about it either, and the result is sometimes a perfectly level horizon, sometimes one that is slightly tilted, and sometimes one that is MUCH more tilted than I want but I can't fix it for the reason you mention.

I love your work. Truly an inspiration.

Great shots! The only thing I notice is in #4 of the band shots the circle on the wall where the guitar shadow is, is really distracting it was the first thing my eyes went to.
