Photoshopped or not? What do you think?

The chick's face looks out of focus :\

The head-on flash highlights aren't great either, but they can be easily tweaked.

It's really cool - but it seems that the people in the picture don't match the background. I don't know how I would attempt to fix it though.

What do you mean photoshopped? You're asking if it looks photoshopped?

The prints look fine. Maybe compressing it wasn't good for your screen. I had forgotten my milk carton & external flash to soften the hit, so I've yet to fix this. This is straight off a Sony AX200 with the camera's flash.

don't know much about photoshop but my guess is no? let me guess: fail.

Well, whenever you take a picture or photoshop it - the point is so that viewer doesn't even ask if its photoshopped or not. Without something in the foreground and without seeing their feet and the ground that they are standing on, I'd have to assume that they've been copy and pasted into the picture. That isn't really a good thing.

It seems as if the focus is on the hands instead of the eyes of the bride - which makes her face out of focus and soft.
I'd step back a few steps and use a telephoto zoom lens to get a little bit of the ground that they are standing on.

Also, it's generally a bad idea to have the horizon line running though the subject's necks/heads.

Otherwise, the shot would work out pretty well with a cool looking sunset.

That image was the first of the engagement set that I saw.
Here's a better one:

Yep, the full body one is MUCH better... still cutting the heads off with the horizon, but no biggie.
Good shot.

The background lighting is fantastic but the composition and fill flash is ugly =/
