If she's getting ready to give her daughter away then why does she look so grumpy??? I find there is to much blurr in this photo. Perhaps its because of how wide it is. Good luck and all the best in 2005.
what an image you have captured here! i just hope it doesn't get overlooked in this huge challenge, and that it gets the attention it deserves. i'll join you for a chuckle if you get more than 5 comments telling you the foreground is too blurry (because i know it was intended)! great work! good luck with this and the challenges yet to come!
Terrific catch... I hope this wasn't set up - then I can label you the master of the candid. On the other hand if it was set up I can commend you on your wild imagination and the tremendous perspective you've chosen. 10. (by the way - the high key effect works well here).
