Time to show off your wedding pictures! Enter a photograph of a bride. The only rule I have is that the photograph must be cropped to a SQUARE format. If you enter a photo that is not square, I will DQ the entry and reference the rule. You may then re-enter if there are still slots open.

You know, tasad..
I was going to contradict you, until I enlarged the image. The face, well, some girls may inherit their father's looks, but not his hands.

Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom's, never sleep with a woman with bigger hands than your own (apologies to Nelson Algren)

Hi Michal ,

Congrats on your winning pic, and as a fellow Fuji shooter it's nice to see you're having success with an "X" cam. The only thing I don't like about the pic is the bokeh, it seems a bit rough to me - or should I say not very smooth. Perhaps it's my monitor, would love to hear your opinion.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thank you so much @mark carr !
This was shot with a 56mmin a very hot sunny day, that is perhaps the reason for the special bokeh. The hard shadows and lights .... I love fuji and definitly love the 56mm lens...
Have a great day Mark.
