Now that I have picked myself up from the floor, I thank you Brit2015 for a job well done, I never even realised that both her arms were down at her sides, goodness me so what was holding the flowers....?the mind boggles, glad you made her left hand hold them, how weird was that.

Thank you

Hi Pat,

Thank you so much, I was wondering if perhaps the flowers were added to the photo? just a thought considering both her arms are at her sides.

Regards

First look at the photo, I wondered if work had been started on it already but maybe not. Her arm that would be holding the flowers isn't complete and the man behind in the background is but there is a white blurry area beside her arm. If she is actually an amputee, perhaps the gentleman has his arm through hers and holding the bouquet  :-\

I agree there is something 'wrong' with this photo.  The brides right arm looks OK but the left is far too long, all out of proportion and hasn't got a hand.  I think the man behind is too far away to be helping the bride.

I think I may have to agree with you Mare,  someone seems to have already had a go at the photo and gave up, I was shown later photos of the couple and the lady certainly does have two arms and hands, why this photo is odd is probably someone had a go at fixing it and couldn't finish it....it makes the flowers look very strange sitting there on her front.

Had a go at it while waiting for dinner to be ready and have replaced/reconstructed an arm ... wonder what happened to it to make it finish half-way down the outline of the man in the background  :-\

The bouquet is very one sided though, towards her 'good' arm ... I've added a bit so as not to have to do a hand  :D
