[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi, as most of you probably know by now, I attended a wedding in Ireland last week. Right after the wedding ceremony I went into a pub for a drink and a picture of myself as it turned out. I placed my mini tripod on the bar and didn't care about the looks I got (was the only one in a smoking *ggg* Kind of a James Bond feeling if you wear one for the first time in your life *ggg*).
Alternative picture title could have been "Who is the largest bottle ?" *ggg*

Anyway thanks to everyone who is going to help in the post processing of the wedding pictures (see the forum thread) and may you have such a nice wedding as the happy couple here did !!!

Thanks and all the best to Mira & Paul !
Yours, Jan

Very unique idea to take your self portrait in a pub. You look very nice in your best suit. Perhaps crop out the blurred bottle on the left, and clone out the little spots from the mirror, and it would be perfect. Nice to 'see' you Jan. Well done.

HA! So this is you! My harsh critique :-) Excellent photo using the mirror, a nice person too! Fun to watch you among all those bottles and glasses.

Nice to see you, Jan. Unique self portrait and I like the double image.

Very cool idea for a self-portrait. Plus you look the part for the surroundings. I'm not too sure about the big blurry object to the left. I would have tried to crop it to see how it looked. Great capture.

Hehehe...i bet «smoking» in a pub may be a current situation (or maybe not if cigaretes are not allowed there...) ;)))) So...nice to see you (in) smoking...glad it was the 1st time in your life, you will keep your health that way... ;)))

Good to see you Jan. You do look at home in that environement, in spite of the smoking. Lovely detailed b&w photo. I would maybe have cropped a bit on the left - the blurred part doesn't really serve any purpose.

Idée originale et pas facile à mettre en pratique. Une réussite Jan.
Very well done.

nice to meet you Jan... and thanks for all those bottles !! :) excellent choice... :)

"Bond... Jan Bond" A fun attempt at a classy shot. Hello again...

Very well done Jan, very nice picture in b&w. I like it with all the bottles around making a nice frame.
Best regards
Guy
