Nice concept.
I can see more of the hand on the right than the one on the left, and there is more light on that hand, which unbalances it slightly IMHO, it could be toned down though.
There is also a distracting highlight above the little finger on the hand on the left, again this is easily removed.

thanks tim, the highlight you can see is another diamond ring...... i shall try to tone them down a bit and try clone the small highlight out, and slightly darken the (left) right hand as we see it now.... but thank you again for your words of wisdom

Definitely clone the light spot away and I agree with Tim take some of the colour out. Have you got the focus spot on? One fingernail looks sharper than the ring to me. Nice idea and shot. I assume you could do something similar with the groom?

Thanks mikew, with regards to focus, i dont think i have coz i used the manual 50mm 1.7, the 3 main stones are not in focus as such. I shot this handheld so...... I have considered the groom for this type of shot but unfortunately he was half asleep last night when we were at my mum's house...... I will tone it down and clone the light spot out most definitely....

I find that at close range hand held if I sway a little then the focus goes way off and you've got double trouble as the bride could move too. Just a thought.

Not often you see an original wedding shot nowadays, but this is certainly one. I think the thumbs arranged more symmetrically would improve it a bit. Maybe the fingers all touching symmetrically as well, as the ones that are holding the ring are doing? I think it would work really well if the whole composition were more symmetrical. Maybe I'm just a symmetry freak!

Nice shot Shane, I agree with Mike the focus needs a little work. perhaps a slightly longer DOF to include both the ring and the tips of her fingers.
