Blooming Bride.....

[manaheim]

This may well be my favorite candid shot I have ever taken at a wedding. Good thing I was ready when it happened... that said, if any of y'all think I biffed it, lemme have it.

BTW, can I say that at a time like THIS... a 36MP D800 is a MAJOR win. I was somewhat far from the scene and still was able to crop it down to this level without losing a lick of quality. You can really see what the D800 is capable of in this shot, too.

Nice shot! Good detail, great color... just a nice candid. She will probably love it!

 

[Frequency]

Excellent shot... and those colors really kill me !!!!

 

[Robin Usagani]

Thank God... So you did shoot it wide... May I see the wide one uncropped? I think better if you show her feet too. I may be wrong. Nice shot.

 

[manaheim]

Thanks everyone! And it didn't get panned by Schwetty! Win! Lol

Yeah, Schwetty, I can put a non cropped one up later, but I think this comp is the win. I'll be curious to see if you agree.

Really is a great candid. It almost looks to good to be true, i'm not saying you did set the shot up it just looks great! Straight out of a wedding magazine. Well done!

Great image, colors are beautiful, nice contrast, well rounded image.

 

[manaheim]

Here is the "full" image...

 

[Robin Usagani]

yeah, you are right. Although I do like full body better, but it just need to be horizontal.

image links broken, for me anyway.

Hmm, I probably would have kept it a portrait crop, possible 8x10 and cut the pool but that's just my style. Good capture.

I get a "connection error" on all your images on here, Chris. Not sure why... I am using the TPF App on the iPhone. Other peoples images seem to work fine. Guess I will have to view them on the ol laptop.

Glad you agree. Also, I think the crop I have lets you see her expression much better, which I think is a big part of what makes the shot.

Well, not everyone agrees. Thanks, Trever.

Yeah, I get those on my own pics on the iphone. For some reason the iphone app doesn't like my images hosted on MY website, which is odd.

 

[Ernicus]

Now they show up. Pretty cool. At least you got to go outside. I had to shoot inside all night. I have learned I hate shooting inside.

I wonder why that is? Does your website hate freedom?
