 Just a crop
_______________

Well, my little wedding couple I used for the "visual puns" challenge came in handy again.

Once again, using some free computer wallpaper, I looked for a sunset or sunrise backdrop. I had SO many to choose from, but I used this one because I liked how the sun was offset and could be seen giving a "hopefull" feeling for tomorrow type look.

I set my camera settings, had the room completely dark except for my computer, and literally held the little plastic wedding cake-topper couple to the screen in front of this wallpaper on my monitor while I took the shots. It only took a couple of shots to get it right. After that, just a crop and it was done.

Wedding couples always have big hopes and dreams for their futures, so I believe it depicted the virtue of "Hope" nicely. I hope you think so too. :)

Are those dolls? :-) Made me chuckle. It also appears there is some kind of text in the lower left? The sky is a bit on the green side, but your idea fits the challenge.

Nice setting and sentiment but the couple's silhouette blends too much with the shapes/treeline in the background.

Ooops, somethng has gone wrong with the colours, there are too much greens in this one which ruins a lot on the quality, also way too underexposed. What a pity, because the composition is good anyway.
