I promised my favorite portrait from the recent shoot, here it is. C&C always greatly appreciated. Derek

This is a really good GQ-type image. The expressions, poses, even sunglass reflections are great. In the C&C department the only thing I might be tempted to do is tone down the white under his chin just a bit. That's almost more of a personal preference than C&C.

Thanks very much. I agree that the image would benefit from some selective dodge/burn.

My first thought was "Chanel perfume!"
So well done!

I like the image, I would consider removing the red veins in her eyes and removing the girl in the reflection in his sunglasses. both items would take 2 min to correct.

It's not perfect, but it's a 2 min example, happy to remove it if it angers the OP.

Not at all angered. I believe those small changes are an improvement—the eyes objectively better, and the reflection subjectively better. If this image really was going in a magazine it would of course require a host of little pp improvements. Thank you for the excellent input.

Lovin the shot. But what am I seeing in the lady's glasses? Looks like eyes.

Thanks Jim. You are seeing floral arrangements, I believe.

Hopefully, as the viewer scans the image wondering, he will begin to feel inadequate at the precise moment he spies the De Beers logo that the bride has been pointing at the whole time.

First look for me Derek was a wow factor, just loved the overall impact. Knowing where you can cut off body or clothing to build impact is a special talent and I learn by seeing from others.
I too wanted to see here eyes a bit more dominating. The warm tones are wonderful on the skin, the overall toning and contrast is wonderful.
Great image, easy candidate for a cover shot!
