Single window light setup. Shot with 5D III and 85 1.2. Your comments welcome.

While I like this as a detail shot, I hate it as a 'portrait'.

Obviously her whole face is blocked and I strongly dislike that.

But as a detail shot, this is fantastic, love the bw processing here.

I like it, but not as a bridal portrait. I'm with Sean. This speaks to me more of the veil than of the person. I think a much tighter crop from the right to just inside or just outside of her earring and down from the top would still keep the veil prominent in the image and increase the value of the bride. Just my two cents.

Awesome. I love the tone.

Part of it looking like a detail shot is that the veil is in tighter focus than the face, not to mention the exposure on the veil is brighter than any other portion of the image, pulling my eyes to it again and again. This one just isn't about the bride I'm afraid.
