A Beautiful Bride

Wow lovely. I see a wedding photographer in the making. ;) The bride is gorgeous, but it also helps when the photographer has such a soft touch!!! I love the soft foggy background and the beautiful definition in her arms. She is beautiful.

So sorry about your DQ. That really hurts when it is just a silly mistake during validation. I wish it hadn't happened. But you have a lot of ribbons, and you have the knowledge that this deserved a ribbon, and you have a lot of FAVs, so it isn't all that bad. BTW, I wish I could capture that clarity in an overhead motion shot.

This is so beautiful, powerful, and poignant -- I think it deserved first place. But I'm glad you got a ribbon. Congratulations.

Congrats on your brown ribbon. You will get lots of views. I've had a few browns myself. Actually I like this. Nice composition. Might have done better in the duotone challenge.
