Groom and Bestman Talk to the Ringbearer
by vlado

Comment:
Really loved this picture, reminds me of the old Rat-Pack. Excellent subject for B & W, save one issue. The Groom, dog and first fellow to the dog's right (as viewed) get a little lost in the shuffle against the large white flowers. this would have scored big with me if you had shortened the DOF to give the flowers a more mottled appearance or shifted the angle a bit to lose the flowers. At any rate, great picture!

"Hammin' it Up" Together

Very cool picture. It meets the challenge description, has great character, links the subjects, nice DOF, good contrast white to black and is exposed nicely. My personal favorite in this group.

loved this idea. all in all a very expressive photo but the focal point seemed to be on the second set of eyes in the back vice on the interaction; which, after all, is the point. it threw both the man and the object calf out of focus.

I too, was one of you 10's; I could not agree with MM more. I am new to photography and I certainly do not have a technically trained eye. I am learning every day. However I do know what pleases the senses and this picture is absolutely astonishing! To date, bar none, this is my favorite DPC photo. I have returned to it time and time again and still cannot put a fix on exactly why the photo invokes such a strong reaction in me. Thanks for your effort.
