Artistic wedding shot?

[Stina3246]

I wanted to get something a little artistic and I LOVED the window at this hotel. I think I could have moved the groom back just a little and had each groomsman step a little closer to the window then the next so you could see more faces but I still loved this shot. Any suggestions on improvement? Is composition OK? It the light on the grooms face too much? Opinions?

Overall great shot I love it!! You are right on about moving the groom back a bit. You can barely see the first groomsman!! Also a couple of distractions I noticed...light on the ceiling on left side my eye kept going to it. And there is a plant leaf? on the grooms arm.

I love it! very interesting! Obviously you can't have a do over on the shot, so there is no moving the groom back a bit LOL! But other than that great! For a crop, Id take a bit off of their backs, so that they are moved over a little in the photo... I don't know if that makes sense..LOL But if you cropped starting right after the tip of that leaf it would probably add more to the composition.

This is great composition and the use of lines here is great. Instead of moving the groome you might also have been able to move closer to the window, to the right a bit? I also think a bit of cropping on the left would do the job. Well done on this.
