In a wedding, the MOST IMPORTANT person, place, or thing, IS THE BRIDE. I believe that ALL photographs in which the bride is dominant, the bride's head must be the "focus" of attention. Swishiness is good for the background, groom, brides dress, etc, but the pan should have the brides upper torso and head, or just her head, be the most in focus part of the big swish. If you miss this, then the shot is just a happysnap. The photo in question has the brides left hand, purse, midriff, and mid-trailing head dress in focus. This is the wrong stuff. Therefore, this is at best, a happysnap. JB - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
