Not sure these qualify as "WOW", but they are couple of which I am most fond.

Not the B&G, but guests. I would love to know what was going through her mind during this dance - it looks like is was good.

This is from one early this year. I grabbed the B&G during the reception, right after they had finished eating but before the guests had and spent about 10 minutes getting some more intimate photos of them. Also gave them time, away from the press of their geusts, to catch their breath.

I'm never impressed with my pictures. Must be some kinda complex I have... :confused:

Im with you PicturCrazy, I don't get inspired by my final product but more the challenge of capturing it. So when people tell me they like an image it many times comes as a WOW surprise to me!

So to define a WOW photo would be very hard for me to do to be honest. As long as my client likes it I am happy so I guess to me those images would be a WOW image!

Mike, With the images you turn out I don't know how you can't be inspired because nearly all of them inspire me. I think secretly you have a big grin your face when that WOW shot comes together for you. I know I would if I could ever take a WOW shot ;)

if Mike doesn't get WOW what chance do us mere mortals have? even you Lloyd!! so if I think I truely suck I must be above average verging on good based upon that theory!!!

Just re-read Lloyd I mean that your photos are wow not that you;re a mere mortal!!

I get WOW but more from my clients being pleased and not by the photos alone, thats all I am saying.

I enjoy capturing the art, making memories for the client and having fun in the process. If I get a WOW every once in a while for myself its a great bonus.

I just never really looked at it that way I guess, I love when my clients cry seeing the photos for the first time (cry in a good way).
