Nice enough pic but her dress is very bleached out, the window is a huge distraction and I think her smile is forced - she looks very posed, very stiff through her entire body. She looks like she just wants to get married already!
Yes! I totally agree! This is when I first started to pick up a camera...but considering I had no idea what I was doing I didn't do too bad lol Thanks for the critique! : )

Thanks! This was taken a long time ago....I needed more light on the brides face for sure...and although a lot of critique's were that I shouldve cropped out the window, I loved the light coming through, so thats where it fell off in the challenge I believe...
This is one of my favorites so far. Still looking at your portfolio

You've captured the bride's face beautifully. The smile is great. But it's so tiny in this photograph. If you could crop a bit. As someone mentioned, you can loose some of the dress in this shot. The one thing that really pulls my eye away is the brick walls in the back. They seem distracting. Maybe a different vantage point would help get rid of that problem. Of course this is subjective and someone else may not see that as a problem. Maybe a smaller f-stop to put the background out of focus. Picture does need to be rotated so that it is vertical.
nice photo but could be improved quite easily.
She is a beautiful bride but the picture seems to be more about the dress.
Things I would change (and this is only my opinion - I'm not a pro...)
First, straighten the verticals then crop some from the top, bottom and left hand side. Make sure those windows are removed even if it means losing a little off the dress. (If the dress flows off the bottom of the picture it will still look impressive to the viewer, who may then think it was even longer.!)
Some of the details in the dress look blown out - these may be recoverable from a 'raw' file. If not it's a case of getting the exposure right at the time of capture. Good luck
A very effective portrait that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being rich and detailed. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus in addition to being a terrific conversion. Well done.
