Good stuff, Greg. Where is this exactly?

I am a huge fan of desaturating images. That is the effect that you did for #'s 6&7, right??????

I definitely love the effect.... Great work

Yea! Awesome shots! I really like 5 for its artsyness, 7 because it just seems very real. I dunno a better way to describe it...and 8 for its lovey safe feeling. :-)

Also, you may wanna do a little Photoshop on 10 - I think her bra is showing (I know I know - typical that a guy would spot that!!!)

Floyd, 1-4 was at Laguna Beach, and 5-10 was at Newport. Amy, I did desaturate those and added a blurred layer.
DJ - you're funny! The last pic was supposed to lead your eyes to the couple's silhouette, not down there!

Great, consistent work Bumatay! Your use of light was incredible!

Great shots! I like 4, 6, 7, and 10. I thought the same thing about 10 as DJ. Must be a guy thing:-)

You men with your mind in the gutters...

I think they are all gorgeous... and your bride will love number 10... she looks incredible!

Hey Mr. Bumatay!!!

I lllllllove them. On number 4 you can see her thong a little bit. or is it just me?

Beautiful shots, Greg! I agree about shooting at the beach. There's nothing else like it!

OK DJ, the distraction has been PS'd out...

Hey Greg!

FANTASTIC work! You captured their natural intimacy perfectly.

You may want to ps a couple of the dust spots off of 3&4 - or maybe I need to clean my monitor!

OMG

You people have supersharp eyes! Thanks for spotting the spots! I better go through all the images.....

I really like them all... They've got the perfect feel for engagement shots - no cheesy element about them. Good work.

One thing that I used to get nailed in Crit for was not bringing a rake down to the beach, lol. Especially in SB, we can get some nasty sand that 2 seconds of raking will make dissapear. I doubt it would be practical to tote that along as you shoot, but even bringing couples down into the smoother sand where the tide is coming in can clean up an image a lot.

But dont get me wrong - they're great images!

Those are amazing shots. I love them all!
