Emotion: Entries that unobtrusively freeze intriguing expressions ranging from joy to tears.
Judges Comment: A really powerful and wonderful moment which says it all.
Judges Comment: Another great moment. The image could use a little more detail and personally I like it better cropped into a vertical eliminating the camera on the tripod on the left and the woman in the background on the right.
Judges Comment: Nice color and toning and selective focus help to make this a really nice moment. The horizon line on the wall behind the bride is a little off and should be straightened.
Judges Comment: Great image with strong emotion and good graphic composition. Nice job.
Judges Comment: Great expression and a nice job with both color and composition.
Judges Comment: Beautifully emotional image. I would have cloned out the lamp on the top left, cropped out a bit more of the door and cropped in slightly on the left.
Judges Comment: Excellent angle and composition. Highlights in face could be bought down just a little bit and the skin is a bit yellow but still a nice image.
Judges Comment: Fantastic gesture and emotion especially in the guy. Nice handling of the color. Might suggest a crop on the right hand side to clean it up and I wish the videographer were't right in the background.
Judges Comment: Nice emotional moment. Good detail in the whites but could use a bit more detail in the brides face.
Judges Comment: Very dramatic image with strong emotion. I assume that all the spots around the edges are intentional to show an aged look but I think the image would be stronger without them.
Judges Comment: Love the way the bride is isolated with the white space. Good emotion. There are a couple of dust spots on the left side of the frame and a spot on the bride that should be retouched.
Judges Comment: I like the composition and the show of emotion in everyone. The image also works well as a square.
Judges Comment: Great expression and gesture on the brides face as the dove flies away.
Judges Comment: Nicely framed and composed and great emotion. I would clean up the upper right part of the mirror and crop in on the right side which would make the image stronger.
Judges Comment: Nice toning, framing, gesture and emotion. The image is a bit hot at the top and should have been bought down a bit or cropped just a bit from the top.
Judges Comment: There was a black and white rendition of this as well but I fell the color version is stronger. Nice simple image with good emotion and good detail in highlights and shadows.
Judges Comment: Nice angle with good emotion. I think the image is a little stronger if the right side is bought down just a bit.
Judges Comment: Nice toning and nice emotion. Could use a bit more detail in the dress and I wish the hand wasn't cropped.
Judges Comment: Nice color and nice gesture. The bride could use a bit more detail in the whites and I wish the mirror over the fireplace wasn't in the background.
Judges Comment: Emotion comes in all kinds and this one is very funny. I wish the image had a better white balance as it is really hurt by excessive reds.
