Default A bridal portrait

This is my first time posting in this section. I'm still very novice.


I don't have any idea what the EXIF data is or how to find out.
It was in an upstairs large bedroom with french doors.
No flash, natural light coming in through doors.
Shot with a kit lens and Nikon D40X
Speed and all the other was automatic through camera setting
Post processing very minimal. (Left: just decreased clarity a little Right: Decreased saturation & clarity and increased contrast.)

All critiques welcome...I'm here to learn

nice photos, the right one is very interesting and I love it.
try brighting up the left one, I think it is a little underexposed.

you can find the exif data by opening it in picasa or elements- it'll be on the left- the ISO and the f #, etc. i like the lighting in the one on the left- for me, it's not really underexposed- i would have liked to see the whole of her head and maybe less of her chest. the one on the right makes me feel uncomfortable- i think it's her expression, but the light is also a little chilly. the one on the right- i'd like to see either all of her arms/hands or none- have you cropped already? also, one on the right- i wondered how this would be with a horizontal crop and the bride not centered.

I like these very much! Nice and soft and she is a beauty. I might try to crop out her black belt...it's a little distracting.
