That was in Panaji Our Lady of Immaculate Conception cathedral where a wedding was going on, i didnt know these people before... I went right into it and started taking pictures... nobody was caring about me shooting around! I might post some more of this wedding as i still have a couple of not too bad shots from that event....
It also can go in my Churches and chapels in Portuguese India theme!

I know there is some (a good deal of!!!)overexposition on the right side couple, but i like the picture enough to post it like that and I dont have Photoshop with me to adjust specific areas....
Hope you like it

hehehe.. funny and nice moment, Laurent
very nice capture of these two couples
I like the angle and compo and the expression of the other couple

Hi Laurent,
I think you are vey lucky. Very nice double POV. Colors and composition are excellent. Well done my friend.
Best regards...
Ali Rıza

Ah oui, je la verrais bien de face, cette jeune femme en rouge, si tu as! Tout bete, j' ai cru a un marriage en espagne, mais quand tu as parle d' approche facile, j' ai regarde la destination. Et oui, l' Inde. En tout cas, une image assez pittoresque, et unique sur TE, un marriage (plutot classe) catholique indien. Tres bonne compo, avec une chouette perpendiculaire d' un couple a un autre, et un geste gracieux qui nous apparait comme une caresse tendre, parfaite pour ce jour (meme tous les jours, faut dire!).

Bonjour Laurent,
Une belle réalisation pour ces mariages... L'un classique, l'autre plus original. La geste de la femme est très bien vu. Bravo, beau travail. Merci
Gérard

Iassou Laurent!

Very impressive double-double (=4) portrait. Great timing!
The composition is very "tight", perfect for your subject. Great depth of field leaving the background blurred, but thankfully not to much. Great colours too!

Congratulations!

Ta leme,
Hercules

Bonjour Laurent,

I find not a overexposition but a very good deal indeed, a excellent picture with two couples, I hope that are both happiness. Very well done!

Bonne journée,
John

Salut Laurent,
Excellent !
La composition est parfaite avec cette profondeur donnée par les deux couples placés à des niveaux différents. J'aime beaucoup le drapé coloré de la femme au premier plan. Vraiment une très bonne prise.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Hi Laurent,
You are lucky and good. Lovely composition of the double couple. I don't mind the slight overexposure of the farther couple since it adds interest to the overall compo. Best regards. Danilo

When I saw the icon I thought the lady in red is a transsexuel shemale, but I see it's not. I feel a bit amused about the pose of the couple on the right. A very good compo of the two couples. Nino

Hi Laurent,
Very interesting double couple shot.
Very nice composition, good colours. Great depth, very good light
Thanks and greetings,
Aires

Hi Laurent,
good portrait. I like especially the touching of the ear, very curious. The other couple is clear enough and adding a lot.
Terrific shot.
regards, Gerrit

Hello Laurent
Wonderful capture of the dancing pairs, so emotional and expressive.
Exellent colors and sharpness emphasize the incredible composition.
Perfect!!!

Bonsoir laurent

Good dual symmetry & interplay between the 2 couples. Excellent colour, sharpness & graphism. Tfs!

Salut Laurent,
Une très bonne idée et bonne réalisation de ce double couple. Photographe de mariage d'un jour?....Il fallait y penser et c'est superbement bien fait...! Un bokeh en quelque sorte...:)
Bravo pour cette belle photo...
Bien à toi et bonne journée.

Laurent bonjour et content de te retrouver sur TE - superbe cette double vue avec des couleurs complémentaires - la surex de droite ne me gêne pas car les mariés sont bien exposés (et il faut être un grand artiste de Photoshop et avoir beaucoup de temps pour adjuster les réglages par secteurs d'images) - j'aime beaucoup
bonne journée et merci
Gaby

This is a very creative composition Laurent. I love the focus on the bridesmaid and her man, while still including the bridal couple.
I can't help but be amused how a stranger wanders into the melee and no-one pays any attention. :D
Kath

Bonjour Laurent,
Cette photo est de grande qualité tant sur le plan de la composition que sur le rendu final. Le cadrage est super bien étudié et la symétrie est parfaite entre les deux couples.
De l'excellent travail Laurent, bravo.
Amitiés
Christian

A nice shot! I like your double couple, framed into a good composition. I noticed the over exposure on the couple behind where her dress blended with the white wall. But overall it is a good capture.

Andre'

Laurent,
This is the shot I am viewing for third time in past 2 days..
So much fun , life & happiness packed in this frame, I kept on postponing the comment just to have a peep once more...
Nicely done & I am happy for your 400D taking you to places...
Cheers,
Prem.

This is absolutely a creative POV , fantastic result Laurent, I love this kind of work, BRAVO!!

have a nice weekend,
Fabio.

Laurent, j'aime cette composition en diagonale et qui commence par le dos de la première fille. La lumière était au top et la légère surexpo n'est pas rédhibitoire. Du bon travail avec des couleurs superbes.
Jacques

Excellente composition, rien à redire...surprenant effectivement que celà ait été pris en Inde...
Bonne journée.

Joel

Bonjour Laurent,

Elle es très belle cette photo. L'dée de deux couples est vraiment bonne, et fonctionne très bien ici. J'aime surtout le fort rouge du prémier plan, à gauche, qui equilibre très bien la composition. Excellent shot!

Angel.

Une autre scène de la vie quotidienne, mais un peu moins courante que les autres pusique c'est un grand moment (de bonheur, apparemment) pour ces jeunes mariés. Trés bonne composition avec les deux couples. Jolies colueurs et excelelnt netteté. Une vue trs vivante.

Bien cordialement,

Emmanuel

Finalement, le couple le plus intéressant est paradoxalement à la fois le plus proche et celui que l'on voit le moins. Peut-être parce que cela lui donne une part de mystère ... Mais je crois aussi que le regard mi-jaloux mi-admiratif que semble lancer la mariée à droite y contribue aussi ...

Great title and even greater shot, Laurent, the silky red of the front woman's sexy dress is a dynamic counterbalance to the shy but curious bride's presence on the left. A strong, gutsy composition, very nice work,
sasa

Une belle image et ce rouge en jette. Il y a deux plans très intéresants à voir.
Bravo

Laurent: obiously a very non-Hindu wedding... showing the long-term effects of a tight colonial grip in this part of the old world. Interesting TE material... c

Excellent shot, Laurent
great framing with a perfect background and some sensuality.
A smile
Luca

Hi Laurent,
this is wonderful double-portrait. Never minde overexposition, this idea is great. What I like too much is side look of the white bride!
Best regards,
Stanislav

Great POV and DOF Laurent. Excellent really. This is a great catch and you good simple title to explain the photo.

Great work.
John

Laurent,
Nice capture! It is a compo that leaves me wondering "what was the relationship between these couples?" The men look like they could be brothers!The woman in white seems to be looking at the other couple. A compo like this that provokes interest in past or future is unusual.

I must remark about your ability to enter a situation like this and take photos. I always feel a bit awkward and try to use long lenses. I think it is a great attribute to "just do it" and if the subjects object , then just stop. I miss a lot of good shots because I hesitate to be seen, or to cause the subject person to be self-conscious and "pose".
TFS. Larry
