Hello Silke,

I cannot think of a less hospitable place to have a wedding ... your intervention must have been like fairy story! The couple may have been shivering with cold but they had the most stupendous backdrop! You have captured the drama forever!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Like the light Silke and the cold feel of the scene, I think I would like to have seen the bit of wood on the left cropped out, only a small thing.

Thanks

Bad hair day turned great.
The sun piercing through those colors is spectacular making this photo absolutely fantastic. Your playing became a lovely gesture that I am sure these people will be displaying for many years to come.

Hello Silke
I love that you guys have the coming and going... My only suggestion is to get that girl a coat! YIKES she must have been so cold.
Wonderful you 2 saved her photos... Somethings are meant to me! Perfect

except it's real! and you resolved the detail and majesty
of it so well Silke.

Hello Silke,
I'm pretty sure this place is on the top ten list when it comes to most photographed!
So there are probably no more angles, no other points of view...
But... there can be different light and that you make very well use of!
Impressive.
Greetings,

A bit pat on the back to you two ladies for helping out the Niagria Bride. True TL attitude. You could never have gotten such a wonderful image on a "good" day - love the clouds and their colors - composition is stunning. The bride will remember the chill of the day from your images.

I think the compo would be enhanced by a crop from the right, Silke, so you'd lose the contraption there (binoculars, I guess?). Apart from that, especially the light is terrific in this shot. A wedding photographer with a p&s, eh... what a rip-off that must have been. These people were lucky you and Linda were at the scene ;o).

Hi Silke,
WOW! What a surrealistic wedding photo! I am sure that the new married would like to see that!
The strong point, obviously, is the light making the sky as a great decor. The pose of the bride, the Niagara falls in the left side, the city in background, all elements compose a great and impressive image. Very beautifully done! Annie

Hello Silke.
What a 'lovely' story, you wrote here. Really a roman.
Excellent picture you captured here.
Sure the married couple wil be very glad with the photo's.

Reminds me when our daughter Ingrid got married in Taormina, Sicily, we went to the Old Theatre Greco to make video, by my self. There was a professional with a huge camera, He also started to 'film' her and husband. We told Ingrid she will be on the Italian news in the evening, haha
Best wishes to the couple an regards to you, dear Silke.

Hi Silke,

A truly amaaaaazing picture and an even amazing story. That bride must have been so relieved that you two were there to record this truly impressive moment!
I see Linda survived it all, because I read "let's do it again!"must have been quite an adventure.

TFS

Hi Silke

Almost time for me to get some sleep. I like the subtle sunset colours, & partial silhouettes, along the horizon. Good sharpness & dramatic lighting. The wedding couple are a good addition. Tfs!

WOW!! This looks like a nuclear explosion in the BG with all those clouds and lights and steam - and in the FG is this happy wedding occasion - life still goes on in all the turmoil of the BG.
A very interesting image Silke - like 2 different scenes in one.
I like it

A great story to go with the shot, Silke - a perfect example of where notes can help bring an image closer to us. This is a dramatic scene and I am sure it is very "representative of the feeling of the day" as you say. You've captured the moment very well indeed.

The entire atmosphere is almost surreal. Nice You used the sunlight very well. I would not crop any part of it like mentioned before.
