What's wrong with this photo? One mistake can ruin it.

I love this photo. I hate this photo. There is one glaring flaw in it that ruins it for me. Have you had a photo like that? You get most of it right, but one tiny thing messes it up.  I love this photograph because serves to remind me to look at my subjects more carefully and notice small details.

I'll tell you what it is that I don't like in a few days. Please feel free to beat me up and tell me how or why you think the photo is flawed.

I'm still learning the tools of the blog. I posted an answer a couple of days ago in the comments section. Didn't realize that I had a "follow up" option. So, Here is what I said:

Many of you guessed the light on the end of her nose and that is what I should have caught. Yes, there are other things like the cars in the background and the hair flying around. It would have been a simple thing to fix the bright light on the edge of her nose and also her ear, etc. I could have moved her slightly, or had someone hold up a diffuser panel to soften that. I wish I had noticed this when I was shooting. It would have been so easy to fix it on the spot. The idea here is to look at your photos later and see what you can learn and take that knowledge into the next shoot.

Trash the Dress

A photo session that is very popular with some brides is a set called "Trash the Dress".  These are photos taken in locations that you would never dream of taking your pristine dress before the wedding.  Places that would cause undue wear and tear on your dress.  This set with Raymie features a rather rumpled dress out at the Great Salt Lake of Utah.  I don't know if the dress will ever recover from the photo shoot, but the photos and Raymie are beautiful.
