  • I enjoyed how the background and thoughtful composition took this moment to new heights. It’s a sweet moment framed in the door. Interestingly, consider how the long blonde hair of the woman helping the bride, acts as an important element of leading the viewer to the kissing couple. But I particularly enjoyed the subtle extra level in this image - the delicate camisole hanging the window.
