Judges Comment: Great image. Everything about this image works. The focus of the little girl looking up as the couple kisses is a quintessential moment. The right choice of lens and the right distance to take the image all come together in this shot. Really well done.

Judges Comment: Another fantastic image. The expression on the girl on the right and extended leg on the girl on the left really make this image sing. The colors and lighting all work and again the choice of lens and framing bring the elements together.

Judges Comment: Fantastic composition. I love the couple off to the side and the little girls and crowd really add to this scene. The sharpness, or clarity if you will, works very well here with the exception of the background where the trees are showing some artifacting but easily correctable.

Judges Comment: Great color, design and angle make this a very dynamic image. I wish the shot was taken a moment earlier so one could see the rings but it is still an excellent image.

Judges Comment: Composition, color and gesture all come together here. The toning works well and there is good detail in the whites and in blacks. Nice job.

Judges Comment: Great expression and gesture complimented by nice tone and color. I like the darkening around the edges to accentuate the little girl.

Judges Comment: A classic moment well done. Nice light and good composition.

Judges Comment: The backlight is great as is the interaction of the two kids with the bubbles. The background on the left shows some noise or artifacting and should be cleaned up a bit.

Judges Comment: You can never go wrong with a good silhouette. The glow necklace and stick add a nice bit of color as well.

Judges Comment: I went back and forth on this image. There is beautiful light and great composition but I do wish the girl in the front was sharp and I would like to see more detail in the whites especially in the girl in the back.

Judges Comment: The eye contact of the child with the adult is really nice and I like seeing only the one eye clearly. The same holds true for the mouth. I think the image is more effective with the left side of the girl's face partially obscured. Toning, color and exposure are all right on.

Judges Comment: Just a totally cute picture with good gesture. I would have either cleaned up the top right side or cropped down from the top.

Judges Comment: The little girl in the front totally makes this image. Great gesture and solid composition.

Judges Comment: A truly classic moment captured. I particularly like the pacifier in the mouth. Good composition and light.

Judges Comment: Good composition and color and very good gesture. Love the symmetry of the four white shirts and the one non-matching pair of shorts.

Judges Comment: The little girl looking at the bride and the bride looking off the page really helps draw the eye. The toning and color palette are nicely done.

Judges Comment: Fantastic gesture. The body language of the little girl and the adults watching is indeed funny.

Judges Comment: Nice moment. I do wish that there was more detail in the girl's dress to create separation from the water. I think the image would be stronger if the blacks and whites were richer and not toned.

Judges Comment: A very nice moment caught and well executed.

Judges Comment: The two twirling girls, especially the one on the right, is very nice. The image is a bit busy and would be more effective if it were cropped on the left and down from the top and up from the bottom.
