, 2) in both photos, you have 2 foci, the married couple, and the city skyline. In "wedding 2", although the couple are oriented to look at the second focus, the skyline, they actually seem to be looking at something offscreen to the left (at least, it looks that way to me), which is slightly distracting, since I don't know what it is that's got their attention. Obviously, this issue doesn't come up with the silhouettes. On the topic of foci, I think in both cases, but especially in this photo, I would have tried to change the angle of the camera to the couple and the skyline so that the two would be closer together, but the couple would still be silhouetted. If that were possible, then you could still have the profile shot, but they would appear to be looking at the skyline (rather than something offscreen), and both foci would be pulled together toward the center of the image, which I think would result in a better composition (not to mention, the skyline to the right of the photo doesn't really contribute as much to the image as the downtown area). Still, very nice effects in both photos--I presume you used your digital camera for this? I think the issue of light gradation really worked in your favor in this photo in particular. And speaking of which, I wonder whether using a filter to darken an exposure would allow the sensor to properly register the light gradation in the sky, yet allow you to lighten or otherwise enhance the rest of a photo with image editing software? Hope this all gives you food for thought. Regardless, I think the happy couple should be quite pleased with your work!
