my cousin nikki, the bride, by the windows in the balcony of the church yesterday at her wedding

you get this weird perspective and fun house illusion almost b/c the windows were SO BIG and the church was SO BIG that from where I was standing they appear at an angle as if they are leaning and a bit distorted - so this is not an image about pattern or anything. this is a real moment, in a magnificent church - there is no hue, color or saturation play here at all. there is a TAD of levels on the dark side but that is it. it was really dark in there and i love how you can still see enough of her detail on her face and her dress this will remind her how overwhelming that church was and i think its a bit of a modern cool shot in the end too b/c of the fabulous way the stained glass is painted or whatever. this is as it was - but this would also be a fun image to play with a lot

neat huh?
