Weding eager Photo

Photographer’s Note

There is a lot of strange and unnecesary customs during one's weding.
Especialy in my country, some of them are :
to steal the bride -actualy a man in weding dress disguised as a bride, then to sell a bride to the future husband and not for cheap, then husband must shoot the apple from the top of the house, guests must pay rosemary flower, piece of weding cake and a dance with the bride, best man must throw money to gipsy children in front of the church, sometimes they force the musicians to climb on tree or a ladder and play,once I saw a whole row of guests dancing over the ladder ....And of course nothing without whole baked pigs and a lot of alcohol!
The only custom I like is this one - throwing the flowers to wana-be future brides, it's funny.

This particular custom is seen at weddings in Ireland too (and I suspect in many other countries too).

The composition here is good, with the bouquet of flowers arriving in from the top of the frame, towards the eager crowd of (single?!) ladies below. You've captured the moment here, well done!

Cao Tanja!
Interesantna fotografija, posebno sto oslikava jedan od mnogobrojnih obicaja srpske svadbe, a koji je i internacionalni - hvatanje buketa. Sto se tice obicaja, pobrojala si vecinu, ali ima ih jos - pa naravno, jos jedna nasa specificnost, razliciti obicaji u razlicitim krajevima Srbije.
Ideja je jako dobra, na neki nacin i romanticna, a specificnost daje crno bela tehnika, tako da ti sledi najveca ocena!
Pozdrav!
Mirko

Olá Tanja, excellent capture of the only costum that you like in a wedding. The b&w is perfect here and I really love to see all those hands against the dark background. The flowers are on the right place, but there's something white on top that should be cropped (just a small detail). Very good decisive moment for this action shot!
Best regards,
Ricardo
