Been Super Busy: Here is some new stuff

Really???
He gave critique. If you don't want his imput, don't put them on a public forum. Nothing wrong with what he said. Since I've joined this forum in March, I have seen almost every post of yours wind up going to hell quickly whenever someone posts anything other than praise for your images (not just Schwetty). What you fail to see is how it makes YOU look..not everyone else.
Maybe you should just stop posting...although it is mildly entertaining to see how quickly a grown woman can have a melt down, especially a professional.

Anyone else on the planet can tell me it's all messed up, but you are a different story.

No... no I have never seen anyone that could..

hmmm... I suspect this threads going the same way as others, which is a real shame. Things have obviously gone way past a spat over C&C, and i've no desire or interest in what it is, perhaps if you both want honest C&C from the rest of us it would be best not to comment on each others posts - it really IS that simple.

Cindy, I love your stuff, really natural, and this set is no different. For what it's worth, here's my thoughts. Not a massive fan of #1 tho, can't put my finger on it, maybe it's the background? #6 is nice, personally i'd have gone slightly lower, and this could be my monitor but the train she's holding seems a smidge blown out. #9 & #10 are absolutely fab, love them, they're so obviously in love. #12 i'd have liked to see both her eyes. #17 is perfect, the hint of reflection from the dress really makes it. #18 the light's a bit to harsh and central, meaning the black of his suit is a bit indistinct. #26 in quirky, which I love, but is ever so slightly unlevel. #27 - gorgeous. #29 is really nice, but like someone else said I wish the dancing couple were slightly clearer. #32 is great, the miniature car is a really nice touch.

HOLY SKIN SMOOTHING BLURBOAT.

Not a bad set overall, but there are a few issues as people have pointed out. It would be really helpful if you numbered them so that people can give feedback on them.

Love
- The one with them standing outside at night - best of the bunch, even though its crooked.

Like a lot
- Detail shots. Crisp, clear and colorful. A few are slightly crooked though (mrs and mr, and the one with candles) Its insanely distracting to me. I'm borderline OCD about that!
- Ceremony shots - you have some great captures there!
- The shot of her behind the gate. Brighten her up and clone out that chair. If you have one where its not covering her eye it would be a killer shot.

Minor Issues
- As stated above, the few crooked shots.
- Cropping. I am all about a tight crop, but some seem like a more careless composition rather than an intentional crop.
- With the getting ready shots the cars in the windows are distracting.
- Where they are standing by the car looking - they look like they have zombie eyes, him especially. Im not sure what it is-but even my hubby walked by and said, whats up with his eyes??
- Skin smoothing. I know its your style, but I think you are losing detail because of this. I'm not sure if the client wants blurry sideburns, or if it just an oversight in post, but it diminishes the quality of the image, IMO.

I almost hate clicking your posts now as its always drama. I like you work, but seriosly, time to put the big girl panties on and act professional. PM a moderator and ask how to block or ignore someone, don't just spaz out because someone is critiquing you on a public forum. All it does is make you look childish, especially to those who aren't regualr followers to The Days of Bennielou & Shwettylens' Lives.

so I don't know if you are still around to get cc, but I think the photos are good. Not great, not bad. You seem to be able to get a good flow going with the bride and groom but I think you need to visualize the photo before snapping and try to turn off your flash sometimes too.

I checked out your website and facebook (does this make me a stalker too?) and I am saying this with the best of intentions, you need to lay off the smoothing of the skin.... or whatever you are doing in post to make everyone look so plastic/orange. Not sure if you are using portraiture, or just some sort of noiseware, but it is way over the top, pushing bad. In my opinion you are ruining a great picture by making them look a bit, well weird. It is one thing to retouch a blemish or lighten laugh lines but to color their faces in one color.... it is not normal, and it is noticeable that you are doing something and for me, if I was the bride that would make me uncomfortable like wow do I look that bad I need to be colored tan in every shot?

So there is my cc.
