[QUOTE="yauman, post: 266808, member: 15418"] Yea, the other one has been extensively post processed and yours look like it's straight out of the camera (SOC). Did you shoot in RAW or JPG? If you shoot in RAW you can fix it much more. Like someone already pointed out, it looks over exposed and there are blown highlights in the whites (white flowers has no details). You must have used spot metering and metered on the dark suit or dress. Should use center-weight and meter on the faces in this situation. Here's my rendition of a fix - lowered the exposure by 1 stop, increase contrast, applied some sharpening and straighten out the crop (slanted doors are no no unless you are going for a specific artsy look!) It's the best I can do with a low res JPG. If you have the RAW you can try blurring the background like the other one one but tough to make it look natural with a low res JPG.
