OK, this isnt really a portrait is it? Its a very well composed shot (I would of cropped out the brickwork at the bottom though) but to try to squeeze it into a portrait challenge is pushing it a bit far.. sorry but I am gonna DNMC you on this one... sorry :( 4
Not a very convincing picture. The symmetry is nice, but the symmetry has nothing to with the group. The title says 'wedding', but I doubt it, given the informal clothing and the way the group is shattered over the place. Furthermore, the group -if it is a group- does not seem to be the main subject of the picture and the blown out whites are pretty disturbing. (3)
The reflection dominates the photograph more than the people...thus I would not classify this as a group portrait. People aren't the subject here. As a reflection shot, I would also crop the bottom to get rid of the beige and the orange.
Other then the title you haven't showen us much in the way of interest. I am finding out that this site and the people on it like to be given something that they can either see right away or that they can be drawen into and find the story for themselves.
Purhaps a different angle or approach all together would have helped you with this one.
The lighting and colours are nice and there is nothing wrong with the composition, it just seemes to be void of an interesting subject/story.
Still I wish you all the best with this shot, remember, I am only one opinion.
I am scoring a bit low since I think that people should be the focal point in a portrait, they appear to me more of just a crowd that is in the way of taking a picture of the water and structure
I wouldn't consider this a group protrait - just a picture of a group. Not on person is looking at the camera. Although, the gazebo reflection is nice.
