These photos have been manipulated

I don't think you need to be told that these photos have been manipulated. Leaving the flowers in colour with the rest of the photo converted to monochrome is a common technique which is also simple. However, when I get feedback from brides and grooms I often hear that simple techniques are effective.

The photo on the right has also been manipulated in a simple way. There is a simple dividing line where the camera technique would mean that only those parts near to the camera are in focus. In fact everything was in focus but I think this is an improvement.

Happy snapping
