Lighting: The lighting works well, but the catchlight could be stronger. The sky in the background could be less hot, but I get the impression this was the effect you were after and it works well.
Pose: Wonderful. First thoughts were that she needed to be not slouching in the shoulders, but it works to give a feel of anticipation and nervous excitement.
Background: Perfect for the mood, but the bushes to make it a bit cluttered. |

| Nice use of the background. This looks very much like what you would see in a wedding photo album. Good job. Pretty girl too. 8 |

| If this is a set-up shot then, your model gets bonus points for capturing the expresion of anticipation (dread?) just before heading in ... |

| I'm sure you are hearing this a lot... but this was supposed to be in a studio... (studio color portrait) or at least a studio like setup... I may be wrong however it could be a painting in the background?! Anyway... I like the soft focus, but I don't think the pose is particularly flattering to someone who looks like a beautiful woman, did you try playing around with poses? |

| Pretty photo and nice applicatio of soft focus. I think her expression would look less startled if the pupils were more dialated--perhaps having the subject close her eyes for a moment before shooting would do the trick. |

| It seems a bit soft. I dont know if you were going for that, but I think that because she is softly focused, it sort of takes away from the picture. I do however love the church, perfect amount of blur there. |

| Gorgeous photo...love the soft focus. I do find her gaze a bit distracting, as I wonder what she's looking at rather than the camera. Beautiful lighting. :o) |

| This is a beautiful, timeless photograph! Wonderful job. My only complaint is that her face is so shadowed. I like the backlighting, but a soft glow on her face would have made it perfect. |

| The background is excellent and the shot is well composed/lit etc. I'm not sure if your model has a lazy eye or if this photo just makes it look that way, but it is a bit distracting. |

Very nice use of natural light to give this shot great depth and tone! Lovely bride! Great soft focus effect to make her glow even more on her big day! A touch more catch light in her eye and this would be nearly perfect!

| I wish she was looking at the camera, but that's minor. The sky is very bright which pulls attention away ... beautiful woman. |

| I love your use of lighting here. It really emphasizes the models natural features like curves, lines and eyes. She has a nice candid appearance that does not look "artificial" like many portraits tend to. A nice soft focus and a warm color palette bring it all together .... I give a 9 |

| Stunning shot, wonderful lighting, and I love the dream effect, I think it would have been better if she were looking straight into the camera though but still its a 10 to me 10 |

| Oh my. Gorgeous bride - and the effect of the soft-focused chapel is stunning, albeit a bit too bright. It would be counter-balanced however if you had bounced a bit mor light onto the dark side of her face. |

| A good marriage photo, not a studio portrait, and too soft for my taste... |
|

| this is a nice wedding-type shot. the softening of the focus is a little more than subtle, but hasn't been overly done (read: just right). her face might benefit from a little more light / post editting brightening up, but that aside i think it's a bloody good job. especially like the soft glow from the viel... and her smile seems genuine too, which means it doesn't feel as staged... 9. |

| Background is not "studio-like". Some frontal lighting for fill would have helped. |

lovely skin tones.
A bit more light or reflextion from the front would have helped turn this shot from a good photograph to a great image
good luck |

| the church in soft-focus on the background is brilliant in this shot. Her shy look also. I find the crop a bit "tight", maybe a bit more space around would have helped. Also it is a bit pale. |

| I like this accept for the cropping of her bodice. It looks really pouffy and ill-fitting. A slightly higher crop, or a slightly lower crop to show more or less of the dress would have made a difference. Because her face is in quite a bit of shadow, my eyes keep straying to that sparkly, white, poufiness. |

| Very nice shot. A little too strong with the soft focus in my opinion, but still a 9. |

| Soft light behind the veil is fantastic. Love expression. Only would of liked a bit more light on her face. 9 from me, hope you do well in the challenge. |

| I like this one. The look is nice and soft without seeming blurred, and the skin tones and colors look good too. A little more light on the right side of her face would have been better I think. The brighter background competes for attention with the subject. |
