My grandparents are gearing up to celebrate 50 years of happiness.

C&C please! I'm planning to make this printed and framed as a gift.

I love the mood you've captured. The expressions on their faces are lovely. The only thing I'm not sure of is the crop, and your grandfather's slouch. Maybe try a tighter crop around the faces/upper body? Then you lose the hands. Hm. I'm not sure, it's pretty nice as is and it's only a minor gripe.

I had it cropped every which way to Sunday - and this one worked best for me...especially if I'm going to print it. At first, I liked the crop because it showed my grandfathers wedding band..but then the vignette killed any highlight of that.

Bah, I don't know!

edit: And it was pain enough getting my grandfather to look into the camera, let alone sit up straight!
