a favourite wedding shot for now...

took this from my 2nd wedding in december...

Image

Saw the yellow flowers on the ground and it all came together, shame her arm looks a little strange with the elbow.

Love the shot, nice spotting with the yellow flowers, I'd be inclined to try and clone the elebow and try to make it a little straighter ?

The bride and groom may not worry about the elbow !! imperfections of pose are generally more a problem from the photographer. Nice shot

This is a fantastic wedding shot, beautifully traditional with class and elegance! Nice. May I ask what lens you shot this with? Nice bokeh.

Its a beatiful image, but she will hate her elbow. I would use filter>liquify, or clone. Liquify will push it in nicely, and look natural.

Where was this taken btw?

Where they were married - in the rural town of Menangle, NSW (where I used to live)

Any more?

Still sorting out the RAW files, will post more soon :)

May I ask what lens you shot this with?

This was shot with 'big white' - Canon EF 70-200 f2.8L IS lense at 120mm, ISO 100, 1/500th at f2.8. (surprised it was only at 120mm when I checked the exif data!)

use filter>liquify

dont have PS CS2, Im waiting for CS3 (behind at version CS which doesnt have the liquify featur)

They loved this image and want a canvas print of it. I will attempt to correct the 'wonky' elbow before I give them the file. :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Looks great. I wouldn't bother with altering her elbow. If thats the way it was, then thats the way it was.

Wonderful capture! Excellent choice of the location. Looks surreal. And don't worry too much about the elbow.

Well done. Cheers.

Great shot! By the way....that elbow could do with just a little PP. I tried it with the clone tool, including cloning the black line back in and it worked a treat. Just don't overdo it.

Gee, what is it about the elbow? Are we performing cosmetic surgery on a wedding photo now? What if she likes the way she looks?

What's next, give her a boob job?

Cheers
Steffen.
