    Peking Wedding

    Took this in the south side of Manhattan. Tell me what you like (if anything), what you don't like (plenty of that) and how to make it better, please.

    Thanks.

    Re: Peking Wedding

    I think there is too much competition from the background with all those lines and blocks and buildings. I would suggest a crop of the top third, left 1/4, and a bit off the bottom towhere the rudder makes and angle with the hull to simplify the composition.
    I do like the contrast of the lines with the buildings, but perhaps as a seperate abstract without the wedding foreground.

    A bit confusing at first then i can see what you are trying for. Would not have worked but as the groom is looking your way it adds interest. I would have zoomed in more on the couple myself, but mits ok as it is too.

    Way too busy..
    You have all of these lines and shapes, coming and going my eye gets tired following them.
    And the people are too small to make any impact.
    I'd suggest zooming in more or get phyisically closer to the subject.
    I'd also recommend opening up on the f/stops for less depth of field.
