Wedding Photo of the Week--Toasts--5/21/12

[picturesque]

<p>Getting back to Themes for the WPOW, this week's theme is The Toasts. These are difficult images to make interesting, unless your sense of timing is stellar and you catch just the right expression(s). Make sure it is 700 pixels or less in width and/or length - AND - make sure to enter a caption in the caption box on that page where you've uploaded. Some technical details about the shot would be helpful.<br /><br />This is not a contest - but simply a discussion of art and technique, with illustrations. Positive as well as constructive suggestions are what will occur. HOWEVER - IF you wish to post your image but DO NOT WANT to be considered for critique - please say so in your caption. Images that show as a link will be deleted and you'll be asked to re-post.<br /><br />Newcomers and Pros are both welcome to post in this thread. You can start discussing immediately. ;-)</p>

<p>Here something different... FoB finishing his toast... that is a picture of the groom on the back of his shirt! For the record, it was a fabulous toast. Nikon D90, 85mm lens, f/3.5, 1/100th, ISO 2000.</p><div></div>
