We used to do 20 to 30 weddings per year and our customers loved the hand tinted pictures. My wife attended a PPA seminar where she learned that and used to spent many hours for selected hand tinting (mostly flowers of the bride, etc.). Having said that, my wife doesn't like the pictures of Philip Borges, she feels they look "too much done by computers". I do like them.

If these images were all B&W they would be very powerful, but the color gimmick undermines their authenticity and turns them into a cheap trick. > Excuse me?
