 These are Jerene and David. David is the organist/choir director at the church I sing at in town. Jerene is in the choir. They met at church. When I asked if I could do a dual portrait of them I thought having some church theme would be good as they may want to use the image for their wedding annocement. I'll want to edit it some more without the basic rule restrictions, but not much. Bit of glare on her cheek and above and pimp the eyes on both a bit and maybe readjust the background so the top of his is still in the shot.

Post: Camera Raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for leves, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. USM and sharpen. Bit of CCW rotation and crop, cropping again top and bottom for to clean up the rotation and again on the sides for aspect ratio. Resize. Sharpen.

Nice couple. Stained glass is hard to shoot and makes a poor backdrop when you have a foreground image dut to the blown highlights.
