    I would clone out the white spot on the top above her head - it is very distracting.

    I agree with Kathy about the white spot, and the composition is nice with the strong, side view. The pic feels grainy/blurry, though that might just be the compression. A nice shot, but probably holds sentimental value more than anything.

    I would crop it closer to remove the offending item and bring in the right side a bit. Just tried it makes for a much better photo.

    Hi, I find the head and the shoulder of the lady are disconnected. Very strange effect. Interesting shot!

    I like the shot and like the DOF that fact that the lady in the green dress accentuates the shape of your wife's portrait is unusual, did you plan it that way or did it just happen. The white spot overhead does have to go. Did you get your wife to sign a model release? LOL

    How about inviting a caricature artist to your wedding to become an integral part of your big day? Imagine your guests gathering around the artist, laughing and discussing which features will be exaggerated. It's not just entertainment, but an opportunity to create a fun atmosphere and capture the funniest and most touching moments.

    A caricaturist at a wedding is a really cool idea! It is even more than just entertainment, it is a way to create a light and cheerful atmosphere when everyone relaxes and starts communicating with each other. Caricature Artist is not just drawings, it is the moment when a wedding becomes something special, unique for each guest. After all, the caricatures that people receive, they will definitely keep and remember with warmth.
