The winning photo inspired me to post these photos I took last month in Montana. It flew in, took a sip out of the Groom's boutonnière, then flew off. I just got lucky! On another note, I posted these with my Mac. Do they look all right. I've been having issues getting the photos to look right on a PC when I post them with my Mac...

Yep. I always say it's better to be lucky than good, but if you can have both, your unstoppable! ;D

Sometimes the right stuff happens at the right time. But you need to be able to capture it - congratulations! Amazing shot.

Great shot! It just goes to show what you can capture when you're ready for it. The whole thing probably only lasted for a few seconds.

Nice job! Keep 'em coming MeThos.

Great capture, I would create one crop in between the two you already have, so a closeups where the man is still recognisable. Your current closeups is too close and I started wondering what it was, until I saw the full frame.
