Arty wedding shots

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Andrew,

Nice work, and I especially like the third. It seems to convey a message or two.

St Pauls in Burwood? There's not too many churches around that sport areal organ ...

In that inside church image, the colour balance seems to me to be too warm - I'm looking at pink paper and tablecloth in the foreground, and I'm thinking that this isn't quite how it should be.

Yeah, i guess it depends on what you believe. The couple were very religious, so i was a little concerned.

The church is in Nth Sydney. The name escapes me as i know there are a few old churches in Nth Sydney, but it could be St Thomas...

yeah, you're right. The WB is off. I'll have to pull the temp back in raw file.

I think I know it, and I think I've done a wedding there myself, which is why it looked somewhat familiar.

Thanx.

Andrew, nice work.
Pull the temp back a bit on #2 and you'll have a winner.

I like, in particular, the third shot of the cross. The symbolism of the cobweb is priceless :)

Great stuff Padey. Agree with previous callers about the WB on the bridal register shot but it's still my favourite. Interesting angle I hadn't seen before.

I love the composition of the registry shot. This angle of the church is lovely. :D
