Love the photograph, Cotty, but the rendering in the principal area of interest seems a bit too dark. I'd want to lighten up the area around the bridegroom's face and shoulder a little bit so that I could see his expression and gesture. There's enough meat in the photo, even the online JPEG, to do it and it makes the photo much more compelling, IMO.
