wedding reception

Go to last post
I love all the other edits but I felt removing the bra/bikini line, and the plant making the bride's arm look like she's got big vains, would enhance the bride just a bit.



 
My take using Fixel Plugin's.

1. Fixel Contrastica - Adjust the global and local contrast. Shifting towards the highlights to lighten the image a bit.
2. Fixel EdgeHancer - Get all the edges out, edges only.
The Result:



Adding Fixel ColoritivityII - San Francisco Blue results in:



Enjoy!

Some of the earlier images that had the background changed were very well done. However, I'm not sure that the bride would appreciate having the venue of her wedding changed.

In my version, I enhanced the color, sharpened it, removed the strap marks on her shoulder, put a border on it and got rid of the piece of farm equipment to the left of her right hand (the one around the horses neck.)

Here is the original and the revised version.



 
Joe,

This is an awesome shot! She is going to be pleased with it no matter how you present it to her. Here is my idea.

I really appreciate everybody's participation. The family was pleased with the proofs. Now we have to finish an album of printable images.

Since the bride's parents hosted the reception and their home is a neatly remodeled old barn, I thought that a rustic wooden frame would be appropriate. This one was created following the recent tutorial on Planet Photoshop. Brackets and nails are created from scratch. The wood frame is composed of several selections from a single wood photo.

Thanks Gale,

The frame tutorial is interesting for practicing some seldom utilized techniques.

This reception was one of the most fun that I have photographed in a long time. It was a large event, but very laid back. All the wedding party wore Western attire with "formal" group pictures posed on antique tractor and an old hay wagon.

The actual wedding took place in Mexico and was photographed by a hired photographer. He spent most of his "hour" looking for the brides wedding band which he had lost in the sand. They didn't get many good shots, so wanted all the wedding party shots redone at the reception.

I was hoping someone would do this. I don't have the knowledge to accomplish it Nice job. Now, can you get rid of the rest of the gear and make it look like a wild horse. Just kidding, I know you worked hard on this one.

No need to bring attention to the flowers, There are enough examples of that already... Isn't the bride supposed to be the center of attention???
