An exquisite, elegant photograph. I especially like the fact that the â€œenhancementâ€ is not noticeable, at least to me. It's about light and shadow, sense of light, framing, graphic elements, and it even has a subtle, tender moment between the father and the bride. Even though you can't see their faces, you get the sense that the father is gazing at his daughter lovingly and proudly (evidenced by the tilt of his head) as she softly smiles, focused on walking down the aisle. The soft light filtering through the bride's veil contrasts with the dominant vertical lines.

Lesser photographers would have never seen this image. They would have attached a strobe and blasted it. Thankfully, the photographer yielded to the quality of light, preserving it while still waiting for the moment â€“ a gentle leaning forward that made all the difference.
