Judges Comment: I love this shot--the motion of the birds combined witht he motion of the bride. The highlights are blown, but it doesn't bother me here.

Judges Comment: Beautiful job setting the tone; post-processing compliments the shot without overpowering it.

Judges Comment: beautiful light on the dress.

Judges Comment: You captured a great moment and the toning works well to complement the mood.

Judges Comment: The content of this image is not the strongest in the competition but it really jumped out from all the rest. The 4x5 presentation, the textures and the toning really took a madiocre image to the next level.

Judges Comment: This is a great moment to start with. However the simplicity of the colors, a splash of blue set against the black contrast the warm yellowish tone, make this image sing.

Judges Comment: This reminds me of a vintage art print. The only thing that in my opinion would have improve it, is to clone out the smaller round spot of flare. I would have prefered a bit more contrast too. However, I still really love the feel of this!

Judges Comment: Liked this picture but the arm across the bride's face prevented it from placing higher. Nice use of available light and the subuded toning adds to the feeling of this isolated moment.
