Punch Up at a Wedding

Punchup_atawedding_bw

Actually, that's only a half truth.  The shot is indeed from a wedding, my wedding in fact.  But it's not as the result of a punch up.  The girl on the floor was actually attempting a backwards handstand thingy-me-bob, but it went awry.  The shot was captured by Karl Schwerdtfeger, and has to be one of the best photographic moments I have witnessed in a long while.
