This is a most accomplished shot - perfectly composed with even lighting and a dramatic shadow which adds interest as it pierces the snow field. I particularly like the little splash of colour provided by the church door.

I think this lovely shot is let down a little by the composition. I would suggest a crop from the left taking out the two or three smaller trees and the featureless black area bottom-left. This removes an uninteresting part of the shot and moves the sun away from its almost central position.
Apart from this you have a dramatic shot with beautiful colours and sharp silhouettes.

I'm surprised this shot did not get more acclaim. I like the energy and movement and the way you have separated the people from their surroundings by blurring - they seem to "pop out" of the image.

Great

This most engaging shot really benefits from natural light. I'm not really a fan of tilt unless there is a good reason for it - in this case I feel it adds drama and energy and helps the viewer engage with the bride.

Your excellent PP work has transformed an ordinary shot into something special.

This lovely shot has a softness that enhances its quiet mood. I'm not sure how you accomplished this - perhaps the application of a noise filter which sometimes gives this effect.

An attractive and very nicely composed shot with good detail. I feel it could do with a slight boost in contrast to give it more punch.

You have captured this beautiful and timeless scene with a very nicely composed shot. I particularly like the large foreground rock which adds a touch of informality to the scene. I played with it a little and found a slight increase in contrast gave it more impact. (I did not add a WS for such a small change).

This wonderfully coloured still life is just perfect. The subdued lighting adds an ageless feel to this image which looks like an oil painting rendered by one of the old masters.

I'll bet you never thought this shot would make a comeback. The detailed PP was worth the effort - transformed a reject into an excellent image.
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the PP.
