OK, I gotta be honest here....

Your best set posted. Love the car shot, very retro with the texture.

bennielou · Dec 19, 2011

Thank you Trever! After years of doing this, I'm trying to keep my MoJo going.

Very nice! I especially like the treatment of #1.

GreatPhotoRace · Dec 19, 2011

These are great. My only negative comment would be that there's very little detail in the dress in some of the shots. Especially in the first image. Sometimes it creates an awkward shape.

Solid set, to be sure.

I think it's #8...her eye looks really weird, like maybe some of the skin work slipped onto here left eye.

Kerbouchard · Dec 19, 2011

Well, you already know what I think of them. Glad to see you posting again.

Love 'em.

Here are my CCs. Overall I have the same CC like I gave you before. The skin smoothing is too much and you need to reduce the # of shots from standing position. Find better interesting angles.

Don't really like the heavy processing but that is really more like a personal taste. I know the car doors are open but my eyes are playing tricks on me on this photo.

No comment.

I rather see this all natural, no flash. You subject is already lit up by the natural light. I rather see a totally blown window where you cant see the car and the trees. The flash reflection on the wood veneer and also the shadow dont look good IMO.

I rather increase the exposure on this one and probably no flash. I rather have a blown window where you cant see the cars. The angle where you shot this is from a standing position. I rather see it from more of an interesting angle.

Not sure about the crop

Her upper hand doesn't look very flattering.

Not sure about the crop here. I am not sure why they are looking that way (barely looking at you like someone else is taking a photo of them).

Pretty good.. Wish they werent that centered. maybe put the more on the left and include more of the whole bouquet.

Pretty good. Wish it wasn't a full kiss.

shot from a high angle, the guy on the right barely fit the frame, need to show more at the bottom, some people look at the camera, some look to the right like someone else was taking the pic.

I dont get this one at all. The round iron detail is covering her right eye makes it look really weird.

No comment.

Not sure with the crop. Not sure why you dont include the whole child.

great capture

great capture

I usually hate shots like this (including mine). The officiant always end up behind them kissing. Nothing you can do. I hate 1st kiss photos. Some officiants are really good and they actually move to the side.

pretty good. The black is a little dark

One flower got cut off, seems unnecessary.

Nice. Wish those 2 people werent there

too centered. Put her more left on the frame.

Nice, wish you shoot it from lower a bit so they look normal or taller instead of shorter.

I see what you are trying to do here. Wish the background behind them dancing was more neutral so you can see the people dancing easier.

Too much direct light on them. Not very good face expression of her.

Pretty good. Wish it was wider. People expression in the background look very interesting.

No comment

Cute

Wish you shoot it from lower angle.

Too tight. His hair and the bouquet is cut off.

Pretty good. I really encourage you to try no flash next time you have this situation with sparkles. The sparkles are actually pretty bright. A lot of photographers use no flash and get awesome images.

Not sure with the processing.

Oh Lord, Schwetty. You found me pretty fast. Please keep your crazy ass out of my posts. I've asked you more than once.

Thank you.

George? Help!

Actually, I thought his C&C wasn't bad this time. A bit redundant, but not bad. Honestly, I was going to commend him for staying civil.

Obviously, I disagree with some of his critique, since some of the ones he blasted were mine, and several of the 'no comments' were mine, but it is what it is.

I think sometimes schwetty forgets that there are usually 3 photographers shooting any given item and that all of us are using different techniques, lenses, and focal lengths. The ones that work get selected and the ones that don't, well, don't.

Actually, I was looking forward to his C&C on your other threads just to see what he had to say...

bennielou · Dec 19, 2011

Actually, you know what Schwetty, I was telling people I didn't post on the internet anymore because it was:
A: A hassle-it takes a while to upload a copy this stuff over
B: You

And that's pretty much it. I hate putting my work up anywhere you can access it, because I honestly feel you are.........strange.

Anyone else on the planet can tell me it's all messed up, but you are a different story. You are full out, non stop, CRAZY and I'm done. I'm done with loading anything on the internet you can get your stalker hooks into. You win! Yay! You win, you win! You da man!

I still have my little world that you can't stalk me on, thank GOD! I've denied you on FB, and I've blocked you from pretty much pretty much else. Why do you care so much?

This is a lesson to me why I quit coming here. I wanted to avoid the rabid crazy.

Ok, I'm just going to say this flat out George, because you haven't dealt with him the way I have. Oh wait, yes you have.

I don't mind the CC. I have just asked him several times to leave me the hell alone. I don't WANT his opinion. On ANYTHING. And this is why I told you I don't like to post anymore on any site he can possibly get to. This is EXACTLY why, and I won't make the same mistake again.

Robin Usagani · Dec 19, 2011

You denied me on FB? When did I EVER contact you from FB? Wow.. I really thought I gave you a good CC. Your loss for ignoring it. People complain here their threads dont get comments and here you are complaining when someone takes the time to give you a CC. Unbelievable.
