I love it, too. The bride's expression especially is priceless. Would you consider cloning whatever it is that's over her shoulder out? Looks like it may be the shadow of a chandelier or something. I'm thinking you could select the entire roughly triangular area and then put a black and white gradient in somehow to preserve the wonderful natural gradient lighting that is already there? I really think this is a wonderful photo and would love to see all the attention focused on them.

Very dramatic in black and white. Can I say busy? lol

I might have preferred the color. The lines and dof are just as nice and the muted complementary colors are very nice.

Thought I posted this but don't see it. I think you are right - the oldest girl looks too young to be their mother. Does not affect the overall impact of the image though. jagar said it well

I REALLY want to know the story here. The light is amazing as are the positions and expressions of all the subjects. I assume the mother is praying. The oldest daughter may be, too, or she may just be thinking and, as the title suggests, envisioning her future. The way her posture echoes her mother's but turned a bit and the fact that she is set away from both her mother and the group of younger children are very evocative. Wow.

Haunting. The kind of image I have come back to and bumped more than once. The composition with the boy walking out of the frame is very effective here, I think. Voted earlier.

Nice macro and the iridescent colors and colors on the leaf work well with the title. Voted earlier.

Interesting combination of a literal interpretation of the title and a suggestion of the story line with the background and her expression. Voted earlier.

Very serene - lovely colors. I could use a crop off the left but seeing the ties is nice too. Voted earlier
