The Wedding Angel

[Greg McCary]

Sqaure format, but so was the subject. What do you think?

i like the pic.
what is the light source in the back...i can't tell if it is a flash on glass or if there is a source at the back of the setting. is this a window display or your own creation? (or both)
the ice lights are a bit of distraction....maybe you can P-shop them out.
but i still love the pic.

Not as easy to print, but I love the square format photos. I like this picture. It's soft overall but sharp where it needs to be. The colors look very nice. I think the ice lights are part of what makes the photo interesting. I would keep them, and perhaps make a completely different softer photo without them. I like the left glow in the back but it throws me because of the child mannequin head to the right of it. Maybe make the left glow look less out of place by removing the mannequin and adding the same type glow? Giving it a sort of halo look might be worth a try to see how it works out. Very pretty picture. I could see it on the wall in a bridal shop dressing room.

Luv the artistic factor in your work.

Love the light vagaries in this shot, Greg!
There are things not quite right for a photograph but the display wasn't created to be a photograph, was it.
I'm trying to say you captured it perfectly and maybe those little stray bits of light and that bright light source at rear and wrinkles and smudges on the drapes are just what they are. It isn't a model shoot where everything has to perfect.
The only thing I don't like, and again, nothing to do with the photograph itself, is the icicle wires showing. Its up to you whether you lose anything by cropping them out.
Nice stuff!
Keep shooting!

Thanks all, I agree about the wires but the older I get the less I like to clone. LOL This is a local wedding dress shop. I thought the faceless angel was a bit spooky.

Its a great capture of a rather difficult subject,due to the conditions.
Love the softness,colors.
