    Very nice! I am sure the bride will be quite happy! The dress - a total flashback from the late 70s early 80s! Is the dress the bride's moms?

    IMHO, I'm not really into these. I find the poses and facial expressions of the model just don't flatter a bride. I think they are both neat concepts but with a couple of adjustments could be stellar!

    Hmmm.... exposure is spot-on. In #1 it appears that the focus is on the bride and not her reflection; the eyes in the mirror appear just a tad soft. I agree that the poses don't seem ideal. As well, her expression in #2 makes me wonder if she's really happy about the whole thing.

    Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

    I don't agree with the exposure being quite right in shot 1. I think it's slightly over in the hair and some of the dress.

    I am being critical but on my screen it's definitely a frag too bright.

    Ha! Ha! glad you said that. I did not want to seem mean by mentioning that the dress was kind of big for the model and wrinkled and she should have had her hair and make-up done.
