Technical details - probably ISO 800, 1/40th of a second at F4, holding an umbrella over my flash since we were outdoors and had no place to bounce flash. Rimlighting provided by videographer behind the brothers (these guys were the groom's and bride's brothers in a Hindu wedding ceremony. There's a tradition where the members of each family greet the corresponding member from the other family before the wedding ceremony starts).<br>

Caption - Hmmm. How about "A Maharashtrian Wedding"...?</p><div></div>

<p>Lovely day!</p>

<p>Her husbano has this Harley.</p>

<p>Used the sun as a veil & hair light. Reflector as the main.</p>

<p>Filled in the background, the golden color fall grass, to cover the entire image in CS4. That's it.</p>

<p>Nice feminine pose 2/3rd's view! Notice how the shoulders are sloped and the face tipped toward the high shoulder. Notice the angle of the body to the camera & camera height. Simple.</p>
