Rules are made to be broken, especially in photography. The end result is a product of what you compose & what you like.I like your original image. For what my opinion is worth, your first choice is the best!

Well, however you applied the color shifts, you did great! this is the type of landscape photo that is worthy of competition judging.

I think the best shot is the first one. Even lighting across her face, catchlights in the eyes,nice calm expression, you even have seperation behind her head. If this is spontaneous, this is a GREAT candid!

You couldn't have done much to improve this image. With the shallow depth of field that extension tubes give, your focusing on the eyes is perfect. GREAT JOB!

You asked what I thought. When people see the image, they'll ask, "who is this?" where is her face?

That's a great shot of the lady's armpit. I'm sure she will be very flattered.

I believe the model year is 1938. This is a Chrysler Airflow. They didn't sell many because the public thought it looked too radical. If you ever get a chance to see one, photograph it , because there aren't many around any more.
The second one is a 1947 Caddy. Not much photographic enhancement in either of these shots. When i go to car shows, I get a little nuts & just shoot like crazy. I have hundreds of these

I have IR filters, but I was lazy & did this one in Photoshop.Not a bad imitation- I think the effect goes well with this photo.

Just couldn't resist showing another one & it probably won't be the last!

These photos by Daniel B. are a perfect example of planning & experience. Great shots each one!

If I may add a few wedding shoot footnotes; (SO many I don't know where to start!)
If you're going into wedding photography cold turkey, shoot friends & family. I won't talk about fees. If you can negotiate what you & the couple think is fair, go for it. REMEMBER that they will be looking for specific photographs, so be POSITIVE that you can produce them. MOST of the ceremony shots are a ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY & you MUST be in position to take it.
You are there to make the bride look beautiful & It's your job to see that you provide the best possible results.KNOW what poses, group shots, & candids that the bride AND the mother of the bride want.
Learn to pose both male & female subjects properly.
Be sure of your backgrounds. Make the backgrounds compliment the subject. Get to the church or venue early to scout out potential locations for small group shots.
Wow! for everything I think of to put down here, I think of 10 more!
If you can take a course OR even better, apprentice with a P.P.A. photographer. (Professional Photographer of America certified photographer)Go to their website.
KNOW your equipment & What it can & Cannot do. Be sure to have at least one backup body.
Wedding photography is stressful, but rewarding. DON'T give up your day job. It takes a long time to establish a reputation & clientele.

Here goes...
Photo #1- Camera angle too low. Keep hands behind bouquet- right hand is distracting.
Photo#2- is this super-imposed on the tree?Groom's foot & leg appear like a doctored image. If they're marreid now, pose them friendlier. Groom looks disinterested.
Photo#3- Special effect distracts from the bride. She should be the subject of the image.
Photo#4- If you're going to use a mirror, DON"T photograph breaker boxes & expect the bride to be the mirrors main subject.
Photo#5- Same here; watch for distracting items in mirrors. This has now happened in 2 different bride shots. Are there others? This is also a bad pose for this subject. Due to her size, her arms & shoulders are competeing with her face & bouquet stem should be hidden by laying it across her arm with stems under her forearm.
Photos #6&7- Special effect is OK, only if requested. Where is the groom in this car shot?
Photo#8- Are you photographing a bride or props? RED is the main color that draws the eye's attention & you have made the flowers the main subject of this image. The bride has become part of the black & white background.

Yes, Ugly Jake, I did some photoshop on them. I wanted to try to duplicate a hand color process from 100 years ago. This one is a bit more descriptive of the process.

I'm new to this site & this is the first topic that I've opened. WOW, cemeteries---- I've got a bunch of them. Cemeteries are one of the BEST places to photograph- archetecture, design, old interesting design, messages, history- everything is there & the subjects are all stationary. New photographers can practice to their heart's content. Seasoned photographers can just have fun! Here are my first images given to this site.
