Judges Comment: Beautiful job on every level! Great concept, great design, very graphic composition, excellent color rendition, and good detail.

Judges Comment: Another really fantastic image. The toning works very well here and the viewer really gets a great sense of the location. My only comment is that the upper part of the castle would be a lot stronger if the tonal range at the top matched the tonal range at the bottom. The top is clearly burnt in to drop the sky but in doing so the top of the castle was also touched.

Judges Comment: Yet another really fantastic image. I love what looks like snow and a reflection in water. The only thing that bothers me is the lower right hand corner. The mirror image lets me know that it is a reflection but I really think the image is much stronger without the lower right hand corner. I looked at the image with that section cloned out and it truly was much stronger.

Judges Comment: I don't mean to be repetitive but this is one more fantastic image. I love the black and white rendering intent and there is really great tonal range and crispness.

Judges Comment: Great usage of extreme wide angle lens. The composition is accentuated by the bending lines. Great detail in all the whites and a great sense of the location.

Judges Comment: Very graphic with good use of the foreground and background. Great color and excellent detail in highlights and shadows.

Judges Comment: Wonderful view of inside and outside the tent. The lighting is well balanced inside and outside as well as being very well balanced to the last bit of light in the sky. Solid composition, great angle and a job well done.

Judges Comment: Really elegant setting, very well composed. I would like to see more detail in the audience which would have been pretty easy to accomplish with simple curves but it is still a nice image.

Judges Comment: The depth of field carries from the foreground to the background with the bouquet dominating the image. The warm tones are nicely carried in the upper half of the image from the tungsten light. Good detail in highlights and shadows and very nice composition.

Judges Comment: Great composition, color and light. Love the shallow depth of field in the foreground leading the eye back. The dress on the bride could use a bit more detail and a slight gradient on the sky would help to further draw the eye to the bride and groom.

Judges Comment: Very clean and graphic image. Love the three triangular shapes and the horizontal lines of the stairs. The placement of the couple is perfect. The dress could use a bit more detail especially in the lower left but it is still a fantastic image.

Judges Comment: I love the framing and composition. Shooting through the trees was very well done and divides the frame perfectly. I like the color but wish that there was a bit more detail in the wedding scene as the whites have a lack of detail.

Judges Comment: Great color and design and great gesture created with the folks in the windows. I wish the vertical line of the left side of the bar was straight which would improve the overall balance of an otherwise really good image.

Judges Comment: I really like the tone of this image and the sense of balance. I love the wide view here which creates a sense of intimacy in the otherwise stark surroundings. One gets a sense that this was a special place for the bride and groom.

Judges Comment: Very nice image. Well composed and the high contrast helps this a lot. Especially like the detail in the roof and upper part of barn.

Judges Comment: I Love the hint of the log cabin on the side and the overall toning. I wish the sky was bought down a little more evenly as it is heavy handed on the right side.

Judges Comment: This image provides a nice view of this wedding. I like the black and white. The image would benefit with a little contrast boost in the midtones which would make everyone stand out a little more pronounced from the background

Judges Comment: Great overall image of this waterside wedding. I like the wide angle approach. I would suggest a slight crop on the right hand side just to clean the image up a bit.

Judges Comment: Very clean shot and well done but I am bothered that the horizon line is off kilter. The image would be much stronger if it was corrected

Judges Comment: The ceiling is very graphic and processed for tungsten to render it blue is a nice touch. The bride could use a little bit of fill on the side of the face but it is still a very nice image.
