What was your goal with this image?

i was the photographer for this wedding so i was really trying to cover as much as possible she was a bridesmaid was trying to capture her on her own

I'm now more confused. You're a newcomer, but you shot a wedding? And out of the whole wedding, you chose to share this?

Don't get discouraged, but instead accept that the criticism is to help you improve. Do you see what is wrong with this image?

i guess the back ground and the shadows from the tree

The eye contact is great - interacting with the subject is important. So you got that. But you need to pay attention to the light, and your background. Also, be aware that the eye is drawn to the brightest part of the scene. In this case, the flower is a distraction.

There's really a lot going on with this image, but it's a lot you can learn from.

thanks prefers film tough but constructive

I would suggest that you read up on posing for weddings, along with all the usual tips about lighting and composition. Wedding photography is not like other fields. You get one take, and have very little control. If you can't visualize the image, compose, spot any issues (like flowers held too high, fingers on shoulders, background distractions) and shoot quickly, it's probably not for you. But keep at it. Here in Utah, there are people with zero skill, and $300 cameras, who shoot $300 weddings all the time. You can do better. :)

thanks man
