Seems
like an iconic wedding photo waiting for the

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Come
and get some cake! Love the shadow and vertical
background. Love the expression on the bride.
Groom
looking for the bride to feed her cake. Bride’s
expression shows some apprehension.

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Another good dancing shot with nice side lighting.
There were a few more distracting elements in this
shot than [first place image] and it bothered me that
their feet and arms were cut off.

Ready

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
An
intriquing image, humorous, nice soft lighting.
Simple

Well-composed
and well timed....a mirror image in a "mirror image".

Party Portrait

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
How
ever did the photographer get them to agree to this? It's a
fun photo that they are likely to enjoy for years to come.
What
a strange combination of expressions made even stranger by the
mud masks.

expression and emotion with a graphic background.
