I found the morning of our friends’ daughters wedding that I was going to be the photographer. I had the camera and a few lenses, but no flash. After the wedding, we went out to a covered bridge for some photos. Most of the pictures were low light, so I used the only good lens I had with me (50mm F1.4). We did some funny shots of dad carrying his daughter and handing her off to the groom. That part was planned. What wasn’t planned was for them to start kissing. I took some candid shots of this and then dad just couldn’t resist getting in on the action. As I saw him moving into the sceen I started moving back and refocusing. This was the best of the lot.
Here is the sequence that lead up to my entry:

Cool shot !! would have liked the father to have filled a slightly larger portion of the frame. The bride's gown is a little overblown other than that I love this shot, 7
what a great candid shot!!! big smooch on left and a big smile on the right. Im almost inclined to get the feeling father is glad to have the financial burden of carrying the daughter now off him...lol Good shot
LOL - it's that expression of the father's face and the thumbs up that truly makes this shot!:-) But wouldn't he be unhappy about giving his daughter away...hmmm, he is gaining a son and mayhap someone to finally hang out with on Superbowl Sunday *chuckle* Definitely a wedding shot that I have not seen before:-) I do have one critique and that is the focus on the subject seems soft and not sharp - perhaps some unsharp mask will get the sharpness back or resizing the original large file down in three stops (sharpening each step) to better preserve the sharpness (doing so to a large file in one stop will loose some image sharpness and detail)
This is pretty funny. I don't know what else to say, but it made me laugh.
To add, this is totally different than the rest in this challenge. Gotta fav it for a future laugh :)
