Judges Comment: The toning of the image gives a stainless steel look and feel to an already striking portrait.

Judges Comment: The circular vignette and minimal image blur enhances the sensual moment.

Judges Comment: The unique use of texture along with a soft vignette transforms this image into watercolor art. Her simple soft pose meshes with the environment and compliments the overall image tonality.

Judges Comment: Drenched with sunlight and accentuated with a flare, the image is completed with a good use of burning on either side of the couple.

Judges Comment: The photographer clearly had a vision when composing this image. The texture of the veil and clouds make you feel wrapped in the moment. The halo around the hand is a bit distracting and could have been remedied with a masking layer.

Judges Comment: Nicely composed and separated against the sky, this image features a saturation closely resembling old school Ektachrome. While the sun flare is very nice and complimentary, one of the flare spots distracts from the silhouette and draws attention to the grooms hand.

Judges Comment: This quiet fleeting moment has a warm and inviting tone. The darkening of three sides focuses the image to the bride then back to the groom.

Judges Comment: The bright center and dark exterior is reminiscent of a Holga frame.

Judges Comment: Quirky and fun, this image has nice earthy tones and makes me want to know more.
