[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my beautiful Stepdaughter, Stephanie. She and Randy were married Saturday and I took the pictures. This one was in the small room where the Bride was getting ready. My wife Kathy gets the credit for having Stephanie look in the mirror for this shot.

Post-processing - made 2 layers; desaturated the top layer; used eraser tool to expose the underlying color of the flowers; Neat Image to clean up noise; PSP 8.0 - soft focus; added frame

Maybe a little crop in the top, but this is really nice, Stephen ! !
Once I did the photography for the wedding of my brother-in-law and it succeeded very well, but.... I never do it again (missed some sleep in several nights).
You really managed this picture very, very well, I like the pose with the mirror, the soft mood you gave it and the colours, the flower is beautiful indeed ! This picture is full of serenity too. Difficult work, I think, with a lot of thoughts if the photos will be good, but when I see this one, your beautiful stepdaughter would be proud of you ! ! !

Oh, this is wonderfull Stephen. Send my congratulations to the happy couple. You made a beautifull picture of Stephanie. Really not much else to say. Pro work, no doubt about it.

Very beautifull picture: a nice shot (well framed, sharp reflection,nice smoothness on the dress) combined with a superb post-processing makes something very clean and nice-looking, bravo

Wonderful Stephen! The soft focus looks perfect here and the pp work is great. Looks like a professional photo ;-)

This is really a very good bridal shot, I love the softfilter effect and the spot of color excellent, great POV, overall a great success, well done!

A beautiful bride Stephen, you captured her well. I like the soft look and the black and white exept for the flowers, well done.

This looks so professionally done Stephen. The pose, the soft focus and the desaturation. Excellent work.

Beautiful shot Stephen. The flowers look so good - PP work excellent. You daughter is lovely. I like how you have the flowers in the single mirror too. Well done.

Really fantastic shot Stephen. The effect that you've achieved suits the subject perfectly. Thank you for the info regarding your PP work.
