Wonderful "Forrest Gump" interpretation with an interesting composition and perspective. CJ

Great stuff. All the whites together work wonderfully with the grass and of course the chocolates. Compliments and regards ~jnconradie

Oh...!...and Kiki, do not recalibrate your monitor on account of this. It IS a bit bright...I am having second thoughts about it... PK

Thanks DRabbit and Kiki_2...! DRabbit, it is in fact, a "good one of mine", lol... In Portugal people usually select the summer months to get married and it can be quite hot around here (...not to mention it can also be a nightmare for wedding photographers. Imagine having to properly expose for both the brides white gown and the groom's black attire under vertically, heavily shades-inducing midday sun...Phew!). I had to get a truly light-colored formal suit to withstand the heat on those ones. I look truly smart in it but also a bit like a Sicilian godfather, lol... (My 17 year-old son is wearing it here...) PK (PS - No problem, Iso. Do what is needed.)

Nice job. Don't know about you, but we had to go to a Thrift Store to find our "prop suit". No offense if it's one of your good ones! LOL

I've amended the name slightly as the voting booth has to have unique names on all the images to work properly. Is that OK - iso

Another good one. The pose and props makes the scene immediately recognizable. Nice take on a scene that can easily get a little flat and boring. Wee bit on the bright side on my monitor, but I need to recalibrate.
