This is an image taken of Becky at her wedding yesterday. I liked the pocket of light that came through this doorway and asked her to stand looking towards the light. I also liked the contrast and texture of the ancient wooden door against her satin dress. The wedding took place at a beautiful old 17th century coaching inn at Long Melford and in the photos I wanted to show the beauty of the place as well as Becky's own individual beauty.
The shot was taken in raw, and the vignette added in photoshop. There was no fill in flash but I wonder if I should have used a reflector to just lift the shadows a little?
Comments appreciated.
Thanks
Trudy

Great Shot!
Can I be so bold to ask how you do your vinetting?

A great shot and very nice use of the available light from the doorway, although I think the vignette might be a tad too strong. I'm guessing you're using the eliptical tool to create the vignette, If your using CS2, there's a built in vignette tool that not a lot of people know about, it can be found under filter/distort/lens corection, just drag the vignette slider a wee bit to the left and repeat if you want it to be darker, I personally think it gives better results than the selection tools. Also if you're interested I know a technique to create colour vignettes using this tool, if you'd like to know how just p.m. me.

Beautiful shot, and I love the shadows. I would agree that the vignette over powers a wonderful image.
