| Overall I like the shot, but there are a couple of things I would probably try to see how they look. I would crop much more off the top and a little more off the sides (zoom in closer). I would also try to burn some of her dress to bring out some of the detail & depth there. Last thing is run it through Neat Image to clean up the slight OOF/noise. Just some suggestions - not sure that any or all of them would help, but they might make it pop a little more. Currently it seems to lack a little luster. |

| This lady doesn't look impressed. Personally I don't like people photos very much - this one however is diferent. I think its the traditional wedding thing. Don't Japanese have aranged mariages? If so - the look says it all. |

| Very interesting subject and very good control of the tonal range from those bright whites to the dark black in her hair. I think you could have cropped off some of the top, and I would like to have seen all of her hands. Still a wonderful image though. |

| It looks like you've cloned out the whole background. |

| This is a really nice shot, but I feel the crop has made this too centred. |

looks like the backround was once there and was taken away...its an odd blend the really white and the stark black.
if it were me i would have put her almost out of the frame 2 the left, so about half her body was in and you could see her stare across the black, it would be very striking that way. try a crop and then enlarge the canvis using black to that side...see how it looks. i don't know might not work at all, but to me center subject framing has is place and this doesn't hit it. very great capture tho.

| I would like to see either more or less of her hands--a tighter crop might serve you better, good job not blowing the whites and maintaining detail in the blac of her hair. |

| The framing would be better if you could go back in time and tilt the camera down a bit and get all of her hands in the shot and eliminate some of the black space at the top. |

| I think there is a bit too much space at the top, and the left shoulder seems a little over exposed. I think a closer crop would have improved the photo a bit. |

I dont believe you just said that. No it is not a rug....
Look at that expression! She looks a lil peeved at someone, and you did a great job of capturing that. Good shot! |

| this poor bride does not look very happy - she looks very nervous, almost like she wants to disappear. Nice focus. Might have considered not centering her so much. The lighting is very good as her hair has good texture to it and reflects just enough light. |

| A little too much room to the sides and above for my liking...easily fixed with a crop though... |

| Nice color composition. A little bit of sharpening after the resizing would have help especially on the face. |

| Excellent, but I think it would be even stronger with about 3/4 of an inch cropped off the top. |

| The woman in the photo is a lovely model. However I think the composition would be greatly strenthened if the photo was composed as a head shot. I would have loved to have had a closer look at her facial features and the wonderful adornments in her hair not to mention that her hairstyle is of interest as well. A composition that tightly focuses just on her from her shoulders on up would capture and show us the beauty of this asian woman. |
