JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
The
first and second place images are wowzers pictures. It was a pretty
tough decision. First place is a perfect combo of architectural
photography and motion. Ditto for second place. You get a sense
of place. But without the bride the photo would be static. She
adds the life the image needs. First place won because of its
beautiful overall planned composition. The photographer knew the
image would happen as the bride walked down the stairs and did
a wonderful job of executing the picture.

PLACE - Margaret Lake [more]

Nice

Second
place has a dreamy and ethereal quality but we thought it could
have been improved by having the focus more on the bride and less
on the center of the gown. It was a close call and when we saw
such two strong images then we moved to a compositional nit pick
to determine the winner.
