Portrait of Bride AND Groom Alone: Photographs that demonstrate the photographer's ability to create an interesting environmental portrait of the bride AND groom alone on their wedding day.
Judges Comment: Very well done. The reflection is clear enough to see detail and yet the ripple is enough to make it clear that it is a reflection. The pants rolled up is a nice touch and the light and color are handled well.
Judges Comment: Strong graphic with great design and great color. The blues and greens compliment each other. While this is a very strong image it may be even stronger if the couple were on the landing beneath them. Only a thought....
Judges Comment: Simple, clean graphic image. The sky and the crisp light combined with the blues in the sky and green in the grass all work well together.
Judges Comment: Very graphic, great color and great composition. The location is fantastic and everything works here.
Judges Comment: Love the concept and the dog is great with the contrast and hot strobe lighting. The only thing that bothers me here is the halo being created particularly around the groom. A little feathering would have helped.
Judges Comment: I really like this image. The composition, design and color are great. I would have eliminated the vignetting and I think the image would have been even stronger.
Judges Comment: A really dramatic sky and nice toning really help this image. Composition is very good. I would like to see a little more detail in the blacks on the suit separating it from the background.
Judges Comment: Great design. Graphic image with strong color and the silhouette works really well here.
Judges Comment: I like this shot a lot. The black and white quality of the sky with a hint of blue is nice. The composition is strong. I would like to see just a bit more detail in the left side of the dress but this is a really strong image.
Judges Comment: A fun image with good emotion and good color. The dark sky works well and the lighting is nicely done. Could use just a bit more detail in the white dress.
Judges Comment: Angle and composition work well. I think the green toned sky works here but would have eliminated the vignetting in the corners.
Judges Comment: Really good location. Great design and very graphic with strong color. Nice detail in the dress and in just about every part of the image.
Judges Comment: The design is excellent. The red and gold above the fixture is very graphic and creates drama. Good detail in the bride and the lighting on the couple is really well done. I would like to see a bit more detail in the lower half of the groom.
Judges Comment: The veil is dramatic and the black and white toning is well done. I think if the sky were brought down a little more it would create even more impact and drama.
Judges Comment: Great design and color and solid composition. Good detail in the whites and nice separation in the blacks.
Judges Comment: The gesture is excellent and the image has humor. I like the angle as well. I think getting a better white balance without the green cast would have been more effective and pleasing.
Judges Comment: Great composition, light and design. The image needs better clarity or punch as it looks a little flat and the groom is unfortunately almost lost into the background.
Judges Comment: Nice location, very simple and yet graphic. The image could use a little better detail in the whites of the dress.
Judges Comment: Very nice angle, graphic. I would like to see the couple pop out a little more and be a little more expressive.
