Contentedly chewing and apparently not at all threatened by a photographer's interest ;-) His antlers are getting a little lost in the branches back there; some background-blurring would make him stand out even better.

He looks just a little miffed that you've interrupted lunch. Good catch!

Nice shot. The background is a tad busy, which is a little distracting.

I was looking for someone to give my 6500th comment too and I landed here :D

I gave this a 7 during the challenge. I loved the concept and the use of the extra piece of material to symbolize the blowing wind. I think I did not give it higher because the purple on her face did not seem quite right. I love your symbolic sense of freedom shown here. Who doesn't like to stand there and feel the wind blowing like that? Very cool.

Oh i like it! See what the bride thinks. I love how you posed the two of them under that poster. Very cool.

Edit to add: Take out the words "Polar Ice" if you can. That makes it too commercial and for me, kind of dims the romantic moment.
