Stunning photograph. The beauty in the image is striking. Wonderful use of light. Wonderful. Simple, beautiful image of bride. Soft focus and subjects down-turned head create an evocative image. This was a superb use of natural light. The texture, detail and the ratio between the highlights and shadows was first rate.

This was a gorgeous shot. I loved the use of the bridge as a backdrop and the crop works so well as the bridge fades into the right side of the frame. Unique vista behind couple makes image. Wished photographer had moved bridge from behind couples head.
