Good health Pooch! Nice of Pete to put the EC on this one again. It's a superb photo, not the kind of photography that I like most (same for you in all probability) but it's the quality that matters. Bert

Too true Bert, just a means to an end for me although some wedding photography can be fun especially the more fly on the wall stuff .

Great Beach Wedding shot Pooch.
So well positioned and the blends of the tones from the sea and BG vary, for me this shoots the viewers eye to the happy couple, brilliant.

Hadn't noticed you had to take it down. Luckily Pete put the record straight lol. Still very crisp and ... err... wedding.

Congrats on the 'double' EC. As good now as it was before you had to take it down 
Really natural capture of the couple and a spot-on conversion.

As far as wedding photography goes this is the badgers nadgers.
Sorry to hear about the knee - must be all the low-angle stuff. You'll just have to stick to middle-aged viewpoints.

Mostly taking landscapes, some studio, macro and quirky. I like quirky best! I'd love to be good at portraiture.
I seem to be OK at street & candid photography, at it's best when I'm not looking through a viewfinder, so I get a surprise when I see the images :)
