... just married ...

Nicely done Michael. sometimes it works when you break the rules! Clive

beautiful photograph !!!! nicely cropped, cheers from melbourne

Very nice!

I am trying to read your crop....is it about leaving everything behind...?

Don't get me wrong I like it. I get asked about my crops and sometimes I have no answer...does that surprise you...I doubt it!

Your work is beautiful Michael!

Thank you, Clive, Karthikeyan and Janis. Yes, breaking the rules is what I am fond of doing! I think it can inject a sense of 'tension' (good or bad) into the frame and has the ability to involve the viewer at a deeper level. In this image, cropping was top and bottom of frame, otherwise this is how I deliberately composed it in-camera. I guess I wanted to symbolise this lovely couple as embarking on a new journey together. The journey is largely unknown (walking out of frame), but they will face it together. That is how I see it. Of course, in other images, I might crop a particular way because I simply like the way it looks! M :)

I like that you placed the couple on the far right of the image. In a way, that they are about to leave the frame is appropriate; they are afterall soon to be on their honeymoon and out of sight. Nicely composed.

The thumbnail of this one caught my eye straight away. It's the composition and the simplicity of the subject and colours; so unusual and so thought provoking. Great work Michael. Regards, Neil

Thank you, Amar and Neil. Looks like the intentional in-camera framing paid off. I always get the 'safe' captures first (ie. traditional) and then move in for the more creative, symbolic captures if I have the time. M :)

I think your composition is perfect...they are about to disappear on their honeymoon, and on to their life together...side by side...they look relaxed and confident.

Kim, that is just about the way I see it too. Thank you. M :)
