Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

What a fantastic moment! the expression of the girl about to claim the prize, the prize seemingly on it's way to its destined owner, with the young girl on the edge thinking, strewth, what about me???

One of those great timing captures, well done... I reckon the brides maids would love it!

the toss happened so quickely, I didnt' even know what I shot until I looked at the screen. I can't tell you how excited I was to get home and look at a larger version of it. It was one of my favorite shots of the day. I wish the clouds in the back wernt' so ominous but such is the way of things.
Thanks for the feedback! I can't wait to get a copy to the bridesmaids.

Great capture!! Nicely exposed, action well frozen.

Perhaps a bit of luck involved, but remember, luck is where good preparation meets opportunity :)
