Evan, interesting thought about too much pp dating images-- we might view them as contemporary today, but with an heirloom like a wedding album, better to focus on great light and composition Do you think the same about using ultra modern compositioning and shooting style-- like shooting wide open most of the time or cropping off appendages to focus on the details of a suit in the same boat? Maybe a more Jeff Ascough style with superb shooting and little post is the way to go, if you can-- to even get a snippet of his skill would be beyond amazing, right? On a similar note maybe figuring out how to use off-camera flash would be a better next step for me than pp(?)
If I take myself through the little exercise, I\'d say, and really I have lots of trouble with this stuff, but here goes:
1. Maybe the pink is a little flat looking? I like the blue tint caused by dusk, but some others may remove the color cast
2. Maybe less emphasis on details on the outer edges of the photo
3. Too much pink on the skin and not enough in the background?
I really have no idea-- I\'d be interested to hear others thoughts or see what they\'d do if they took these shots. Hmm that may be a better post-- put up higher res images and see what people would come up with...
