I have two super professional multi award winning photographers in my church. I did their wedding some time ago...there were dozens of their peers and colleagues, also pros...For a joke I said there was to be no photography during the ceremony I was conducting (I was kidding!)
Anyhow, THAT couple asked me to do a 'PastorCam' shot of the kiss. I have done so in every subsequent wedding.
When the romance challenge was announced, it was a no-brainer for me. I had an outdoor wedding in a winery in the country.
I tok about 7 shots, but I am not sure I submitted my best one. It was a real debate. I thought it would do well, but many were put off by the extreme wide angle, which by the way I loved.
I had another shot where the crowd was really into the kiss and people had their little digital cameras up, people were laughing etc...but the kiss looked awkward. Oh, well, gave it my best shot.

| Was this a wide-angle mounted on his/her hat? Interesting approach. I'm rating this high. Good job |

| The fisheye feel of this image is distracting and seems to compete too much with the intended subject. A shallower DoF would have helped to drop a lot of the clutter out of the background. |

| The field of view/distortion is a little disorienting. I think I would have preferred a rectilinear shot at a more natural fov and shallower depth of field to bring out the four people in the center. There is a lot of emotion in those four people, whereas the rest of the crowd is pretty dead. |
