Wedding retouches

[Ziaphra]

I went to our friends' wedding the other weekend and took some photos at the reception (the photographer had gone home and I knew the family better...her parents had divorced and now had different partners so I said I would take the more personal pics...no pay of course...I am not good enough for that!) Anyway I would just like your input here as this is pretty much how I was thinking to do most of the ones I got. There was no 'clear' place to take the photos unfortunately so had to do with this corner and have had to do some heavy photoshopping. Bear in mind she's about 6 months preggers and I don't have any special lighting!

The picture are kinda small so hard to see. It looks like you've blurred her face a bit too much.
I would add a shadow under her feet - I know there isnt one to begin with but you cant see the heel of her shoe either so she looks like she's kinda floating and when you're altering a photo you have to pay close attention to things that have occured in the real photo that already make it look manipulated.

Really you need to post bigger pictures so we can see the detail

You're right...is that better?
