Wedding Rings for C&C

Hi all,
Anybody care to comment on the below pic? all comments welcome
Cheers
BrookiePixelleMemberFirst impression wow, beautifully sharp, lovely shades of white, shadows.
Picky details – the buckle is just costume jewellery and kind of overwhelms the rings.
The 2 buttons or sequin-thingies are a distraction.
Are the whites on left blown?jb7ParticipantbrookiedParticipantThanks guys,
Buckle i can not change the size. Its custom to the ring pillow. maybe i can dull this down with a dodge/burn?
the 2 buttons i can clone out no issue there.
Blown whites on left. i like this effect on the overall pic. i have the raw file and keep playing with this but this effect for me works best?wjklewisMemberI like the general feel of the image as well, what about a few of the technical details?
John.AliParticipantHey Darren, first impression – very nice. Colour balance looks to be spot on, few minor things as p&s mentioned but all in all very nice :D
I’ve my first wedding to do in May so keep em coming :)brookiedParticipantHi
details for those interested,
set up :-
Pillow and rings set on a PVC riser in a light tent,
i opted for a single 25w studio white light from the right, 2 lights really overpowered the subject.
Shot in RAW, imported to Iphoto for preview,
Moved file to Aperture to correct white balance. WB shot was tungsten
Edits in elements 4.0
crop, resize, brightness, contrast, levels, noise remove and sharpen.Thanks for the comment,
Not a wedding photog but just messing with my own rings as i wanted a better shot than what the photography gave me for the front of a mini albumRobMemberbrookied wrote:
