This is just spectacular. The B&W feel (duotone or no) is perfect, the composition and angle of the invitation across the shot are perfect, and the DOF is perfect. And the DOF is appropriate. So many people use narrow DOF "just because" without it really making the eye go somewhere specific.
And all of the things everyone said earlier are true, although I don't know why anonymity was so crucial.
Thanks for providing a great example to try to follow. |

Thanks to everyone who liked this. It isn't technically a black and white shot, as it went from colour to a final duotone shot, which gives the slight red tint to the 'blacks' I liked this more than a pure B&W, as I got married in a kilt with a lot of maroon, so it seemed appropriate.
I was suprised by the number of people that commented on the lack of anonymity - didn't realise it would be such an issue.

1's and 2's on this photo? Explain? Beautiful capture, well lit, nice composition and right on target for the subject.
Maybe having your name on this Gordon got a few haters? |

| so much detail my eyes bleed! very nice! i would have moved the rings to the left about 5% |
|
|
|
04/23/2002 08:34:00 PM |
| Sorry, but if I know the photographer, I'm going to bias my vote down... (just kidding...=) The depth of field onthis is wonderful! Spectacular focus on the rings. I think you should use this for teh top of your album! |
|

| I'd say this is a major transition. Good Composition and clarity. I like the fact that you can read the date in the ring. |
|
|
|
04/23/2002 05:53:00 PM |
| I think this is a little sentimental for you, erm, whoever took this photo. Great detail in the rings. |
|
|
|
04/23/2002 03:50:00 PM |
| Well Gordon, I would have given you a 10 but since I know you took this picture your getting a 1. Just kidding. I like it very much. |

| excellent, the world's largest transition, love the crispness |
|

| Wonderfull photo. The composition and FOD is perfect. |
|
|
|
04/23/2002 03:51:00 AM |
| Liked the idea. Lovely clarity in the picture, you can see all of the details on the rings, and good to see a black and white medium used for this sort of shot. |
|
|
|
04/23/2002 01:42:00 AM |
| Great composition very classy, maybe had you tried messing around with alternate ligting? |

| The best of the bunch!! Beautifully shot. |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 08:32:00 PM |
| this was an important transition for you, but it appears it has already happened, and now you've gone back to try and recreate it...however, to me it seems like a weak interpretation...but this is only my opinion...i do like the placement of the artifacts, this would look great in a wedding scrapbook or picturebook |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 07:33:00 PM |
| Gordan I think you gave away your shot having your name in it. Great concept and great exposure. |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 06:50:00 PM |
| Great idea ... I started to run out and get married just to be able to do this, but I couldnt get all the details worked out. |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 05:59:00 PM |
If any fits the challenge, this one does. Very good but if its not too late, STOP!---10
Can you not get 100% DOF ?
As I think about that, the primary subject IS in focus. It may be you did exactly what you wanted. |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 04:41:00 PM |
| Nice photo. Sort of lumps in with the funerals as a transition. (just kidding) |
|

| Good shot, *whoever you are*. Nice work as always! |

| OK, so where's the transition? JUST KIDDING! Good, clear photo. I like the composition. |

| Beautifully photographed Gordon. You need to have this made into a picture to give to your relatives as a wedding day gift. One of my top five. |

Nice. Big transition in my life too ... good to see it isn't just my ring that has taken a battering in the last few months!
Would have liked to have seen a bit more reflection from the top of Amanda's ring ... it looks almost black to me |
|

| I really like this photo. I do wish you had not used your name in it:( |
|

04/22/2002 08:33:00 AM |
| This is beautiful. Anyone thinking this is not a transition has never been married. I love the photo. |
|

| Nice composition. Why's the girl's name always first? |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 08:14:00 AM |
| For only being married a few months your ring sure is beat up :)...Nice photo Gordon... |

|

|
04/23/2002 02:05:00 PM |
| I think out of all the wedding photos, this one is the best photographed. The date in the ring is awesome and the b&w shows everything off. Very cool. |

I wish there was a way to tell who took this picture!
Nicely done. I wouldn't change a thing. |

04/22/2002 12:33:00 AM |
| Excellent photo.. very nice composition and very nice interpretation of transition... I'm not too keen on the aspect of this entry not being 'anonymous'. |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 12:19:00 AM |
| I wonder whose this is. I wonder how many sarcastic "I wonder whose this is" comments you'll get. Good photo, great transition. |
