The cloud is from incense being burned in a censer which is passed around the bride in Greek Cypriot weddings by various members of the family. The Royal Photographic Society gave me a one-man exhibition of street photography some time ago so I decided that I ought to get some kind of qualification with them prior to the show to add a little weight to it. Hence the LRPS. It is their basic ?starter? qualification and I ought to go on and get the next level at least but I have never been that bothered.
