The happy couple

This candid photo was shot of the bride & groom walking down a street heading to a location for a few shots. I know this is a bit different and people may not get it but I was going for something a bit different and experimental

It's your picture. We don't have to get what you get. That's the beauty of photography.

 

[John Young]

Yeah true - I did of course get plenty more 'usual' photos but I just liked this one

Nice shot. I have to believe the slightly skewed vertical is done purposefully, but for me it's distracting. To my eye it looks like it was badly squared as I would expect a skewed photo to be slightly more skewed. Does that make sense? Otherwise it's lovely.

Thank you yes it was tilted but maybe needs more work to show its meant to be there and not an accident

It's your vision and good for you for experimenting. I agree with Jake's comments . . . if you're going to do something "out of the norm", like skewing the horizon, make it obvious, otherwise it tends to look like a mistake.

Lovely work, John.

I agree with the skewed comments , more skewed or straight. Also might bring the couple over a tad towards the center (if you have more room to the right), he just looks really close to the edge. Nice shot and effect.

 

[John Young]

Thank you for the feedback - yeah a few people have said more or straight.

 

[BackdoorArts]

... he just looks really close to the edge.

I hate it when you can't decide whether to post a Yes video or Grandmaster Flash in response (said the man who wonders whether his post will leave more people confused than amused ).

Ok, not only does he look close to the edge, he really is!

Confused

​You are not alone

 

[John Young]

Ahh right... I think I see where you are coming from



*whisper* - I will keep him talking someone go for help

My impression is fence solidity, symmetry and focus contrasted by human frailty of bride carrying her own dress train and groom with poorly tailored pants walking though clutter into an unknown future. I do like it.

 

[John Young]

Now that is a superb interpretation of the photo - brilliant - thank you

I feel like putting it in an art gallery with that underneath

Use "walking hand in hand through clutter into an unknown future" and the bride will love it.

I knew I was playing to the wrong crowd.

First the band Yes and the song "Close To The Edge" (classic early 70's Prog-Rock)...

 

[BackdoorArts]

Second, posted separately due to forum restrictions on video posts, is Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five's, "The Message", with the constantly quoted line, "Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge"...

You may now resume your photography related activities.

Ahhh right...... I see
