    I’d guess that not too many people will comment due to the size of the image, but I think it is very well spotted. From a compositional point of view, it is also good – I’d be tempted to have a little more space to the left. However, the colour popping isn’t to my taste – I’d prefer to have it all in colour.

    I agree – if there’s a bit more space to the left of the bride it would look a little bit more balanced. Personally I am not a fan of the whole desaturating elements – i think you should either go all colour or none at all. To me its a bit dated using this technique.

    Another thing (and form personal experience of editing wedding photos) – Irish men have red faces by default! If you made a feathered selection around his face (and hands if needed) and added a bit more yellow so there is less magenta then his skin tone would be less harsh and in line with the bride more.

    But as a shot goes – I like it. Captured the moment and light well.
