6. Shutter453 - (8/22/2008 8:36:10 AM) This photo proves a great photographer goes beyond simply photographic technique, but the pursuit of subject matter will really makes one's work stand out. Fun shot!
5. Anna Lee - (7/28/2008 9:13:19 PM) Fun shot. How many tries did it take to get this shot? I hope the no one was hurt!

3. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 6:41:20 PM) This is AWESOME! A bunch of black shapes among a white sky. But then you look hard and you see these funny expressions and some really talented dudes! The guy in the front looks like there is no way he is going to make a safe landing. Such a nice twist to the traditional everyone standing in a line and jumping in the air. What a truly great photo! I loved every bit of it!

The photo works because of the genuine excitement from each groomsman...instead of the classic jump you see with half the group's face frozen with an "oh boy, I am so timid and I don't like to have any fun" look!
1. Dario Impini Photography (WPD Member) - (7/28/2008 9:42:00 AM) LOL, love this one. Rarely do I find such energy from a relatively jaded, uncomfortable bunch of groomsmen.
