but honestly, what exactly did you try to achieve by cropping it like this? |
I guess I wanted the photo to be about the flowers, not the women holding them. I was struck by how well the bridesmaids posed themselves without me asking them to. Then afterwards, I noticed how the flowers made a cool half-circle with the Bride's bouquet in the center. It seemed too perfect. So I messed with the crop to get it right. Then, I was just experimenting w/photoshop (learning for the first time actually) and decided it would be a cool image to mess around with selective color and blurs. Long story short, I dunno, I just saw it that way! :)
Thanks for the comment. I wish I had shot this image recently so I could enter it! It does seem a little tacky coming back to it again. I still like it enough to put it on here though! |
