One from a wedding that I helped out with last year. C&C welcomed.

Looking at it from a non wedding photographers perspective, I ask myself, why does the photographer want me looking at the drink in her hand rather than the expression on her face? The PP with selective color on the drink forces my eye there.

I agree with Bryce - I'm not a huge fan of selective coloring anyway, but I think it only works in certain instances. I'd love to see this in full color.

Here you go. This is untouched so please excuse any imperfections.

For some reason, and I may be in left field, the shoes being OOF really distract me here. I think it's because of they're proximity to center frame, but I think a deeper DOF might have served this image better all around.

I am not an expert by any means, but I find the cut hand a bit distracting.

Scootersbabygirl · Aug-13-2012, 07:41 AM #7

I don't mind the shoes but the hand cut would bug me a little bit - I love the idea of the shot, though, and the off-center aspect of it. And yeah, full color is much better than the selective color!

Really not a selective color fan.. Actually hate the whole process. In color shot decent but the shoes aren't "pretty" on the bottom so I'd probably pass on that and crop in a bit. Thanks for sharing:)

My experience is that people on here don't like this kind of thing but brides love them. Who you trying to please?

Not too sure about the selective coloring..
as well, the cut off hand.

Foques · Aug-15-2012, 07:30 AM #11

imho, selective coloring is one of those things that scream "newb" in photography.. I am unable to understand why people fall into the mindset of selective coloring.. though, a few years ago, I was fascinated with it myself, for some reason. lol

cut off hand, lean and shoes are bothering me. if it were my shot, it wouldn't leave my bin after the PP.
