[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another photo from a wedding I attended about a month ago. It was my girlfriend's cousin's wedding which took place in a park on absolutely perfect day. The groom's side of the family comes from a very strict/traditional Christian religious background to which the women are required to where hats at church among other "old fashion" practices. The church they attend is referred to as "the Hall". I snuck this photo prior to the ceremony while scanning the audience. From the looks of these two women I believe they could easily be sisters. However, I don't know this for sure. It was this likeness and their wonderful hats that caught my eye.

Adjusted levels, auto contrast, cropped, grayscale and added frame in PS7. Thanks for looking; comments, critiques and workshops always welcome.

Wow, Jeff, interesting subject -- good chocie for B&W, too, especially given your emphasis on the hats and what is perhaps not the most optimal sky in the background. As a youngster in the 60s, hats in church used to be a weekly occurrence. But it's been a very long time since I've seen a trio such as this. Great POV here, both your positioning and the positioning and/or cropping within the frame. Brings back memories! TFS.
