* There has been an increasing amount of editorial comments lately. The idea of the contest is to portray the concept with an image and no words. It is fine, however, to credit those who worked on the image.

There have also been too many rule #9 violations lately. This could result in the thread being locked and is not fair to those who abide by the rules. Please abide by the MM rules for forum posting or more stringent action may be taken.


Please PM me with any questions, concerns, suggestions or concept ideas. Let's have fun!

Thank you for this contest concept as I've been wanting to share this picture from only a few I was able to snap as the situation happened so quickly.... (sadly I just missed the beginning by mere moments)

On this day I was at Montrose Beach doing my usual swimwear photos with a Chicago model.
The model was actually facing this couple and I had my back to them with the sun behind me.
All of the sudden she gasps in excitement and says for me to turn around quickly and what do I see???

Luckily I had my 70-200mm lens on this day as the couple was a good 100 yards away.
Afterwards, we both went to congratulate them and found out they were both from the Ukraine on vacation in Chicago visiting his family.... turns out Chicago has a massive Ukrainian population.
It must have been just one of those days because they didn't speak English but the model with me was Russian so she translated.

Of course I showed them the few snaps I was able to get and of course I gave them the pictures.

This brief synopsis is not meant to sway votes by any means what-so-ever but the photo is meaningless without an explanation since its the definition of LOVE.
