Thank You for your encouraging review. My capture and focus was pure luck here. My sis in law was so nervous that I was the one responsible for the moment of memories. Fun times. Yes, this is the one my neice picked out. It was a challenge because she is very short. 4ft 8 in tall. We did not want a train longer than her height.

Impressive subject choice.
Fine detailed features and textures.
Subtle illumination but natural skin tone.
Great story telling factor.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your review Dick. I purely lucked out snapping this. I tried to crop out the two lights above her head but just couldn't. 2 ping pong balls bothers me. It was a day filled with laughter. Yes! This was the one she chose. It was a challenge. She is only 4ft 8in tall. She did not want a dress with a train longer than she is tall. Many memories were made.

Emotional punch! That is what your photo is...jam packed full of emotion, memories and beauty.

Just love everything about it. The back view, the side view the two people shown, the reflections.

Your crop is perfect, the white balance is perfect, the level is perfect.

Just a perfect shot. Betcha three member dollars it wins!

of raising 3 daughters yes I do know how it is important to a woman of that perfect dress for the woman. now ask the average man what is important thing on that special day. rarely you would get anything about what he is wearing. he would show up in a potato sack if he can get away with it. venus and mars..wink.lol. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of the back view of the bridal dress is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Thank you for the spectacular encouraging review. I really am not worthy of this. I am very humbled. I should of edited and cleaned this up but we all just did this today. So it was a last minute rush thought to enter. I think today was it. I sure tried to stay out of this. Did you look at my sis in law? Mom of the Bride is on the couch. I sure wish I could of read her mind. Gee, what was she thinking???? Like I said, this was a honor to be included in this. Little secret! She really DID say Yes to this one.
Blessings, Ron and may you be abundantly blessed in the New Year of 2017.

Well constructed and great use of light. The bride to be is the star and the dress is the frosting. The mirrors help expand the scene into several beautiful reflections of a stunning young lady.

A very nice photo and a beautiful shot of the dress. I like the mirrors on the sides and the critical observers in front of her. Great exposure for the white of the dress. Best of luck in the contest.

First off, what a stunning wedding dress!! (I hope she picked that one, she looks gorgeous in it!!) The clarity of this photo is very good. I love that you photographed her in front of the different mirrors. The different angles of the bride's reaction and the woman sitting down is great. Good lighting and color. Good shot! Congrats to the bride-to-be!

Thank you so very much for having a critical artistic eye. I tried to hide. I tried to get the different angles. The lady on the couch is the bride to be's mom. My sister in law. I sure wish I could of x-rayed her thoughts. She was too nervous to take photos. This was as I said a honor but really fun too. Not fancy, not edited but straight true life emotions. Moments not turned to a " oh! That day memory". Blessings and may you have a Awesome Happy New Year 2017!
