He is thinking if is doing the right "knot" to choke him self before his wedding!! LOL lOLNina Shields November 10, 2009
I'm sure it's hard to smile in a tight tie! Love the intensity of the shot, Max; smart move in using a 1.4 and having the subject in profile; excellent! #8120825Ann Coates November 10, 2009
I have to laugh, I was thinking the same thing. He looks like he's not quite sure. It's probably just nervousness. You captured a great thinking moment Max. The comments have certainly put a smile on my face today. #8120832Max Aureli November 10, 2009

Superb wedding capture, Max. Wonderful portraiture. #8122203Jenny M. Hoehns November 11, 2009
Very intriguing and alluring. Great capture. But if he was worried about which knot to tie she should have picked a location like I did, on the top of a cliff. Either take the plunge or take a plunge :) #8122334ROLAN NARMAN November 11, 2009
