Picked form the garden. Shot indoors with single studio flash (diffused) and small reflector. On black

It does have an eerie feel to it, Nicely done. I think straightening the lamp posts would help, and cropping out that partial tree on the far left.

Llangennith is a great place, isn't it. The wife and I were mountain-biking around there today and spent a very happy half-hour sitting out on the pub terrace with a beer in the hot sun. It's a hard life.

Crop of upper sky area, and post removed. The conversion was done with Power Retouche plugins. Pretty good, but quite expensive at £80. http://www.powerretouche.com/index.htm

It's a beautiful spot, but you need to catch the tide. PM me if you want details.

Third of the way up and third along from left on the horizon. Here is a much closer view...

This is the view across from Burry Port to the Gower. The light-house is one of the last iron ones in the UK. It's a BW conversion in CS4 with a single colour toning. C&C welcome

Sorry, but way too much artifice.

Andy I leant photography myself (every other man and his dog seems to have a photography degree these days), and there are plenty of others who are self-taught. I find constructive C&C very useful, and even though I'm now a reasonably good photographer I still want people to comment on my work...

Yes, I noticed that. It's a little noisy in the background, but on the couple it looks fine. Must have been dark in there!

That's a Greek island, isn't it? OK, the shots. Firstly, I appreciate how difficult weddings must be to shoot - bad light, too much contrast, people in the way, others trying to take shots, so I understand the constraints you are under. I think what I find hard to understand about the...

It wasn't anything about your photography. It was just about the nature of weddings. I find the whole business pretty commercial and false. But, I can see from the other comments that have been made that I am clearly at odds with the general flow. If you want I can make some comments about the...
