Congratulations on your first entry! You even did better than me on your first entry than I did on mine! I would definitely echo what was said about making the crop a little bit tighter to emphasize the embrace. There's just a tadd too much negative space on the bottom and detracts the eye from the intended subject and causes he ye to wander a bit. I realize that the S7000 uses a 4:3 ratio crop. With this shot I probably would have usd the traditional 3:2 ratio and cut off a little bit of the bottom. I think it might have helped to get a little more of the brides head in there, that may have also put the hands at one of the Rule of 3rds intersections. Hope that helps! Looking good! I look forward to your future entries.

I am a wedding photographer and I usualy have the couple posed for shots like this. Good shot though. I also use the same pose.

I'd cut 1/3 of the bottom, it brings the embrace more into the eyes of the viewer.

Wonderful, the way the hands stand out on his back with the ring on her finger. Very good.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

Would have made a nice "hands" challenge shot, but I don't see candid here to me. I understand the imaginative concept in that of the candid you are portraying, but to me personally, I like to see straight-on emotional moments in, preferably, the face or situation. Here I just see that I have to imagine it rather than see it, and in that, I give this photo a 4.
