Some may think it a stretch, but I think the bride's fist-pump of joy totally makes this shot. Yes, I know it's grainy, but I like this photo dammit! ;-)

Congratulations Manic and Chiqui. I just read through all the comments and figured out who this ecstatically happy couple are.
The picture had put a smile on my face when I first viewed it, and I came back to see who they were.
Love the smiles....love her dress...love the shot....nice to see a really happy scene. Wish the bride and groom were more in focus but I am giving this a 8 because it appeals to me so much.
In a way I hope I'm not the first to point this out, but just in case... ;^) The hands of the couple are not the focal point - the pastor/minister in the background is. Kind of a bummer because this had potential with the composition; position of camera to include all three people is great, odd number (3 people) is good, the couples hands are positioned near a ROT point. Best of luck in the challenge.
Nice framing and expressions. Looks like a focus miss, unless you purposely wanted focus on the officiant. If so, you should reflect this in the title.
The expressions in this photo are great... I'm not sure I love it for the hands challenge, but then the more I look at it the more I'm convinced it's fantastic for the hands challenge. Thanks for something to think about...
Well, I can narrow it down to two people that may have taken this shot :)
The focus is on the pastor rather than the hands, so that makes it a little bit of a stretch for the challenge. But good luck to Manic and his new bride, nonetheless!
