This photo shows a conversation, they don't look happy, but the people of the back are playing with the water and having fun. In the background I can see the football stadium with the girls team, and in the foreground Joe and Jules talking about something, I don't know. Joe were a t-shirt and Jules a sport top.
Maybe, Joe is angry with Jules.
This photo shows an a traditional indian weeding. In the background I can see all the guests and in the foreground there are Jess sister, Pinky, and her husband Teetu. All the people are smiling and dancing, especially the bride and the groom. I like this photo because there are a lot of colors, and everybody is happy. I think is a very good photo!
