| You have color, focus and nice light. The cake is over exposed and the glass at the bottom is a distraction. It's not bad, just needs a different composition to give it a punch. |

| Highlights overexposed..blown out. Good idea. Good job matching title with picture. (They slaughtered that slice of cake.) |

This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Okay cropping, get rid of the bit of her upper arm that is showing and the glass at the bottom, make the cake piece and their hands central in the frame to bring attetion to them.
2) The cake is blown out and it is distracting.
3) Overall good idea and title, the purple tablecloth adds some nice color, as does the green behind them.
Score: 5 |

Hmm...this could work as a more formal set-up shot for the Lifestyle section I suppose. So, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually tried to create a journalistic shot and this isn't just a shot of some friend's wedding.
Photographically, it isn't great. If this was meant to be a candid, their faces should be visible. If it is meant to be a more formal kind of shot depicting one aspect of a traditional wedding, the glass in the foreground should have been removed. It adds nothing to the composition. The harsh midday light is hurting this shot. The whites are extremely blown out. There is virtually no detail to the icing on the cake or in the fabric of her gown. His suit is also lacking detail. What I'm suggesting is, pay attention to those middle values. They are what give a photo depth. Unless you are going for a very abstract high contrast quality (which is rather inappropriate for the subject matter) you need those middle values.
The focus looks a bit too soft to me which doesn't work well with the harsh light and extreme shadows. |

| This would make a nice shot for a feature story--perhaps not as the lead photo but as part of a series in a photo story. There is lack of contrast in the man's jacket and the whites are overexposed on the cake--tough subjects to capture well in a frame. Can't tell you how to cope with the problem, though, as I often run into it myself. |

| Far too cropped for my tastes. (let's see some faces!) Mildly newsworthy (in the right section) Good attempt though. |
