are you a snapshooter or are you a storyteller? Show me a frame that tells a story, captures a cause and effect, a protagonist and antagonist or maybe a scene that might normally go unnoticed. I'm looking for an image you keep coming back to and find new details, tension, elements.

a deceptively simple challenge...the strongest "seers" will win me over!

a linky to the rules is here.

bring it!
Canon 5D MkI
50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 24-70 2.8L, 35mm 1.4L, 135mm f2L

    Protagonist/Antagonist? Reminds me of the Thread last year of the MIL that wanted the photog to keep shooting her New Daughter in law barfing at the reception~:D

    Does this fit the contest? Well, there's tension, drama, and the frame almost went unnoticed. I'm not going to say who the protagonist and antagonist are...

    The Winners Are...
    Mischka-
    Now that is something you don't see at every wedding! This is exactly what I was hoping for...the unexpected moment that needs no title. Amazing job being aware and stopping the action! I love the expression on the groom's face and the subtle hand at processing. I love everything about this image, it makes me very happy! :)

    Jeff_Milo - A beautiful, emotional image that stays with you. You can feel the tension as she tries to fight back tears. Great choice of focal length and depth of field, we can barely see the bridesmaid wiping her tears away. Also think the processing fits the image, I am always tempted to BW with such tender moments but the color is definitely beneficial here.

    Blurmore - Would have loved a sharper image and less tilt, but the moment is absolutely priceless, kid moments are very common at weddings but the gloved hand and her lips (and the fact that we can tell this is during the actual ceremony) make this one stand out.

    Fabulous job everyone!
