I really like this picture. It is subtle but very funny. The bride is having her moment while the groom is getting his first does of reality. This is one a family could laugh about for years- a classic image.

Proximity to the subject brings you into an odd moment, reinforced by the expressions of the women in the background.

The humor here lies in the juxtaposition of events: such an unceremonious ritual for a bride and her father. But what really strikes me is how sweet and honest the moment. However, I find that the light on the left keeps pulling my attention from the intimacy of the moment. Perhaps the photographer would consider recropping the image to better emphasize the content

With his umbrella the chauffeur has echoes of Mary Poppins, and you can almost hear the dog scratching and panting with excitement, unaware that he's not likely to go on this ride. It's a fun moment.

This must have been a long, long wedding. They even let the wedding party sit it out. These guys stand in stark contrast to their counterparts. Slumping, bored, inattentive with "will this never end" looks on their faces. The women all sitting with straight backs and at full attention. Showing the dissimilarities (and similarities) of the sexes can be funny stuff.

This was a classic moment. What I like best about this picture is the pointed toes- it reminds me of the witch under Dorothy's house! ? Nice body language – a nice pre-wedding image.

COMMENTS: Their stoic expressions and the way they swapped gender rolls make this a fun photo. Technically speaking, there is room for improvement through better framing and composition.

This is a weird picture. But I like it. I have showed it to a couple of people that laughed out loud, therefore it passes the humor test. Fun moment.

This image is both scary and funny. At first glance it looks like she's going after a bottle of champagne, but we know it's really sparkling cider. And what a face. I know I shouldn't be laughing at kids and alcohol, but it's funny stuff. I can't help myself.
