Shot Jennifer and Joseph Yesterday. Fun couple, nice day all the fun stuff. I will post a whole set from this one soon, but here are some of my favorites from the shoot. C&C is always welcome.

Thanks for looking.

BTW...looked at my first three, they seem a little soft, the originals do not look this soft. Is it something I am doing wrong when I resize?

If I am honest - they lack a bit to me. Sorry to be negative.

You have had no other comments - perhaps because many hesitate to be unkind - and I don't mean this that way.

For example:

The lighting on the first one is poor - face in shadow
Second one - poor location and lacks pop - see my quick effort
third one out of focus plus the flare is ugly

Do you have any more conventional shots from the occasion?

I agree with Paul's assessment.
1. Focus is wrong or you need more depth of field. She is the main subject, so she must be sharper. He could either be in or out of focus depending on goal, choice of DOF.
2. Paul's rework improves. Crop feels tight at the top. I'm not sure background is so great. Its busy, distracting. Shallow DOF might have helped a bit.
3. Flare doesnt work for me. Building feels tilted down right. Contrast is low.
4 and 6. Definitely a good subject. 4 has less distraction in the background, whereas 6 has the red chair pulling the eye away from the subject. 4 would be better with the napkins removed, a bit sharper. DOF is well-chosen. Needs a bump in contrast.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the comments. Negative works for me! It helps me improve and that is why I post. I do have some more conventional stuff, I am still working on this wedding. I will post a full set soon. Thanks agian for taking the time to comment!
