This is one of my favorites from this year.

It may not be the most technically perfect image I made in 2009, it still represents a decent risk I took in helping my friend co-shoot a wedding.

Good close-up and DOF.....6

Nicely done, good focus and use of shallow DOF. The B&W for me is a nice touch as it gives it a bit more sincerity.

Nice B&W , but the background spoils it and distracts 6

the only thing I can critique here is the lower left corner. its distracting from the ring on the hand. Maybe a tighter crop?

I always find these 'wedding' shots endearing. Lovely and I like the b&w for this shot.

I see your dilemma with the bottom left, however it is disturbing to the entire image. Good BW tones.

Wonderful B&W tones in this excellent. This photo of the moment when the promise is sealed with the placing of the wedding ring on the hand is very endearing. The expression of love is spoken not with the expression of the face or sparkle in the eyes but this time it is with the hands. Very professional looking shot and well captured.

The lighting here seems a little harsh. The white from his shirt upsets the flow of the image a bit too, as does the shin off his suit button, and the blur in thee bottom right is a distraction

Love this shot and background makes this stand out even more. Nice hand positioned into frame and mans hand/thumb connecting the two people. Very nice

Nice B&W shot, I might have cropped out the out of focus area on the left.

sentimental. dried skin on the male hand bothers me a bit.

could have cropped off the blurry part of the wrist and still had a good effect

Very nice engagement photo that I'm sure pleased the giver and recipient! Works well in B&W.
