Oops, corrected the end date of this challenge, Thursday Nov 1st not Tues. Sorry for the confusion.

Only one photobombed photo out there in POTN land?

Bombed by a bus!

I apologize for not selecting a better challenge topic.

First to post and fist place goes to Cuypers1807. One should expect to be photobombed when conducting a wedding ceremony on a public beach, be it human or animal.

My second choice goes to scriveyn. Not sure if it's the POV or intentional that the gentleman in the blue robe is "playing" with the lady's hat. Either way a cool shot.

Thrid place goes to darkslinger. Even with the unexpected bus I like your night shot darkslinger.

Well done everyone.

What's next Cuypers1807?

Loved the shot Joby they new it though … trying to sneak through there..

Thanks Old Crow. I thought it was an excellent topic. Perhaps most throw the photobombs away in editing?
This was my brother's wedding on Wrightsville Beach, NC. He is also a photographer but unfortunately shoots Nikon.
He wanted me to use his camera as well so I had my 70-200 on my 1D3 & a 24-70 on his Nikon D4. Switching back and forth was a pita. One of the kids in the background is actually my daughter. I kept this photo because it made me laugh.
Thanks Monty! I'll have the new challenge up soon. There will be a prize for the winner.

Sorry for the delay guys. Will have to post the challenge in the morning.

Congrats to Joby. The contrast between the ceremonial and the spontaneous makes a great picture.

Thanks OldCrow, it is a kind of double whammy. I intended to photograph the lady with the hat. So by perspective the gent on the left 'bombed' by his gesture and also the man on the right walked into the picture.

It is up! Good luck!
