I commented on your cropped version first (which I really liked), but now seeing this, I may like it even more. Two reasons: first, this one really accentuates the beautiful curve from the brides neckline right down to the bottom of her dress. A very strong compositional element, IMHO. Now that we see more of the figure in the dark suit (who I presume, now that I see more, to be the minister or person officiating the proceedings), I notice that his elbow sort of more or less mimics that afformentioned curve - lovely (if imperfect) symmetry there! Second, now that I see that the girl is turning around in the midst of the ceremony (which I didn't get from the cropped version), it makes her lovely impish expression even more precious. She's obviously looking back into the congregation, maybe at her mother or someone else important, with a look of pride: "Aren't I doing well? I'm being a good flower girl, right?" Both photos are lovely, I like this one a bit better due to the story it tells... BTW, congrats on the wedding of your daughter. Both she and your grandaughter are beautiful; you must be very proud. cheers, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
