 Wedding season has started here at the studio and I loved this shot from this past weekend. I wish I would have had a tripod to slow things down a bit more, the couple was holding still but this was hand held so I had to really crank the ISO to get a clear image. Even this one isn't tack sharp but I'm satisfied with it and given that we had 5 min to get it, no tripod in sight, hand holding the camera and leaning against the dock with the wind coming off the water, I'm happy with the way this turned out.

Hello from the critique club

An image that contributes to the challenge

Indeed this was a challenging exposure without a tripod but you certainly managed to get a good exposure. I like the rim lighting on the couple but would prefer a closer shot of just the couple it would have had more impact, I find both sides of the scene distracting.
