Silly and fun. Great sense of humor.

WPJA PHOTO CONTEST WINNING IMAGES - FIRST HALF 2003

FIRST PLACE - Details - Amy Deputy / Maryland

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:

A fun image that’s wonderfully composed and keeps your eye darting around the frame. Nice seeing.

The color and use of triangular composition made first place jump out. The photographer was able to see an attractive situation that was anything but obvious.

SECOND PLACE - Emotion - Amy Deputy / Maryland

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:

Has an honest and real feel. The body language of the subjects and the moment before the kiss creates a little frozen tension.

Fantastic frame. The brides open hand under her veil. The bride- a mirror image of her mother.

2003 THIRD PLACE - Reception - Amy Deputy / Maryland

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:

The bride’s exuberance is evident as she is vaulted into the air and paraded around. I get a good sense of her happiness in the photo.
