Amazon Prime Day 2022 Coming Soon!

Thanks for the comment Paul; personally I kinda liked the background with all the bottles as it sets the scene for me. I did take lots of other shots of all the activity going on, the staff and reflections, but they seemed more personal. I chose to upload this one as being near the end of the process, including the crown and showing the smile on the brides face as she inspected the result

I too rather like the bright lights and colours of the background. I definitely prefer V1, in V2 you lose the distinction between subject and background, plus her eyes and hair lose brightness. And for me this is really about the excitement in her eyes.

I think the portrait is great and I am not too bothered about the background, I think is sets the scene. It is the OOF hand that I find distracting
Thankyou for the comments;
There was originally a bit more context to the hand John; holding some strange implement for torturing hair; but I preferred the balance of this crop. But I do agree it's lost a little in the process and I'll have a play to see if I can offer the couple a variant with it cloned out

Fine, lively portrait, excellent tones and focus. The softened version works as well as #1 for my taste. I like the blurred hand, too, it shows that activity is continuing while you work, that the shot is not posed but a fleeting moment.

Hi Tim. I'm going to go with the flow on V1 although I don't dislike V2.
V1 just has that bit more detail I think this type of shot deserves. As you say the backgrounds not a problem as it does help to tell the story.

Background doesn't bother me at all here, as it does set the scene! I like both versions, with v1 being my favorite. The softening in v2 gives it a slightly dreamy effect, maybe appropriate for the way the bride feels?

A good shot Tim, - and you are so brave to go in there. But youve provided some understanding why they are easily dissatisfied with the reality of the next day, - not much pampering.
I like V1, - the softening of both the BG and face in V2 could make one think the softening was accidentally spilled over on the face.

Great capture Tim, love the hand. Version 1 for me, at least for the bride herself. In the background I quite like the softer look.
