Possibly distracting elements in the background low and by blowing out the sky, eliminating ones in the sky too?

I'm wondering if he was relying on his flash really heavily to get a lower exposure on the sky. |

Using the sun off of buildings and sky for fill light? Eliminating harsh shadows from the direct sun?

My nephew and his bride hired a pro. They got married in front of a large window with a lace drape in front of it and it was very bright outside. The poor photographer had it rough trying to shoot from inside with that glaring window behind the couple. Don't know if she tried to rearrange the ceremony or not. I would have at least tried.

my last attempt before bed. lots of softening of the background, exposure dropped on bride, and saturation increased on her as well. white balance tinkered with, flowers with more saturation, and cloned the corner.
Thanks for the hand guys, but I've realized how tired i am because it's taken me about 10 minutes to write this because i'm making so many spelling errors |

It isn't even 10pm?
Compare it to the first try, it's new and improved E46/E90 What happens when you are hungry, 18" across and the wave goes out? Left high and dry.

Um... I guess that is how some people make their money and their other rides?

I went out hunting for osprey today up in Summit County, Colorado and didn't see a single large bird, but this little lady posed nicely for me. Shot at 1/6400 second to stop the wings:
Rufous hummingbird (female) sizes up a wildflower by dcstep, on Flickr My post-processing is usually limted to cropping and setting the color, contrast, vibrancy, etc. as part of RAW conversion. I used to do things like add an eye-light, clone out a twig and few things like that, but I've gone to taking many shots until I get what I want and I throw away all the others. I suppose if it was a once in a life time subject and I somehow screwed up I'd try to rescue it in PS. (I own PS, but use it only two or three times per year). Here I just used one of my RAW conversion Presets cropped in a square crop to focus mainly on the bird. Dave

damn Dave... that's one of the best photos I've seen from you (and that's saying something)! The flower petals almost look 3D and everything is super sharp!

Dave,
I've sat in front of my house trying to get one of the Annas and none come close to this. Excellent shot. I made the mistake of clicking on your Flickr and looking at your "interesting shots". Note to self, visit Dave, kidnap him and hold him for ransom from Getty images. I hope you submit some of those to magazines, you really need to share them with the world.

Killer shot, Dave.
I saw a nice hummingbird shot on POTN the other day, but the photog said he used a flash. Not sure if that's good for the bird at that range.
