Hello everyone! This is a photo of my brother and my Sister-in-Law, we went to a nearby resort to celebrate their new marriage! This is taken in Amlan, Philippines. :)

That's absolutely beautiful! If there's one thing I don't like though, it's the shadows coming from the edges, specifically corners. They overwhelm the image, make it too dramatic, and detract from the stunning silhouette of the couple.

Otherwise the colors and lighting are fantastic! Great job! (And great wedding gift!)

I agree with Inkwell. The only thing that distracts the photo are those blurry edges that looks like shadows. I guess you edited the picture from picnik.com. So yeah, I suggest dropping that shadowy effect, Vitacakes. ^____^

It's slightly cliche' on how you took the photo, nevertheless, good job on this. :D

Hey, Vite!

I actually have to disagree with them. I like the blurry edges! Though, the thing I would do if I were you: crop it. Make it so the people are in the center. Right now, they are somewhat centered, but there is more space on the left side as opposed to the right. Crop a small section off, and it'd be pe

Take that, Lumi.

The colors and tint on this are amazing! I really like the shadows, and I would say that the dark at the edges is just so-so. I would reduce it, but not take it away completely. Over all this is really beautiful - very proffesional too!

Vita! Hi there. Great shot.

However, I'm sorry tho say that I think you may have gone a bit overboard with the edits. At least for my taste. This shot is very nice, though the positioning is a bit... weird. You might consider a crop on one side to completely center the subject or to play with the rule of thirds a bit (though centering would probably work best here even though I wouldn't normally recommend it). I think that the vignetting is a little overdone, and you could definitely keep it (your framing is perfect already, but it helps as well) though you may want to tone it down. Also, the play with colors is drawing away from your subject. They are the silhouettes, yes, but the colors are distracting rather than allowing them emphasis. You might just consider toning down the saturation rather than removing the tint/filters.

Overall, excellent shot as usual.

I think this is awesome and so cute. (: I have to agree with the first two comments. I don't really like the black edges. I think it would look better without them.
I do like this photo, though.
Keep snappin'

I personally think the colors and everything are good, but I think it needs some work. All the boats in the background add interest, but they draw too much away from the focus of the picture. I think it should be cropped to center the near sillhouettes and then maybe turned kind of into a vignette. Fade all except right around the main focus if you don't want to crop it because it just seems a little too busy to get what feeling I think you want to portray.

This is beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
