Im not sure what I think of this shot. It will be interesting to see what others think. The image was taken by having the couple stand at the edge of an infinity pool that overlooks the ocean. I shot lying on the ground so the beach and beachy stuffs disappeared. Max was in the pool holding the flash for me. ;) Yes, yes, I know..another damn bride and groom. What can I say? It seems to be my most common subject matter.

man Julia... please teach me how you get couples to do what you want. Do you bribe them? LOL I certainly need to get mine to loosen up a bit.. this is a STUNNING shot and one to be very proud of.

You're REALLY good at this! I love the stunning array of bright colors & how the couple is standing, too ^_^

Nice job

Julia, your "most common subject matter" usually doesn't appeal me but you do magic with your camera turning overlooked images into pieces of art. Thanks for the pleasure I always get when watching to your work.

Well, there is NOTHING common about ANY of your bride and groom photos! You give such inspiration that wedding photos don't HAVE to be common and boring! This is stunning!!

"Yes, yes, I know..another damn bride and groom. What can I say?" Not for nothing but that is a great image and the damn bride and groom are going to love it. If not, you, Max and I need to give them a talkin' too! LOL!. Great stuff. Congrats on your top 20 finish.

Great lighting and clarity. Have mixed thoughts on the blueish PP on the reflections, perhaps something more subtle? but I do like it more with every view. Great job.

Cool shot. The colors are a wee bit much IMO but I love the composition so I'm back to bump you up to 8.
