Ceremony: Images that capture guests and participants throughout pre-ceremony, vow-exchange, and receiving line activity.
Judges Comment: Great story telling! This image not only has great composition but also captured a trio of wonderful moments that tell the story. Nice and simple photoshop and good use of burning areas to emphasize the elements.
Judges Comment: It's rare to see this portion of the ceremony up close and personal. A great black and white conversion enhanced with a tad of grain really make the rings pop.
Judges Comment: The treatment of this image gives the look a feel of an aged transparency. A nice use of cross-processing give the image a cool and positive glow.
Judges Comment: The slight sepia tone enhances the intensity and seriousness of this groom. The contrast between a dark foreground and light background carefully balances the image.
Judges Comment: The gentle toning warms up the image and compliments the sense of place. My eye enters the frame in the center doorway then travels down to the couple. Nice!
Judges Comment: What a nice moment! Well balanced and nicely toned this image. I find the people in the background a bit distracting, add a little blur and your set.
Judges Comment: he darkness of the couple paired against the brightness of the flame has great symbolism. The purple hue makes the couple pop off of the sky.
Judges Comment: The deep dark sky paired with a nice warming tone keeps this image visually stimulating. All this image needs is a slight crop from the bottom and sides.
Judges Comment: Great expressions and a nicely blurred background help keep the viewer tuned to the action. I wold crop out the hand in the lower left corner and dodge out the bride.
