Judges Comment: Great design! The dark arm on the left contrasting the whites in the rest of the image is fantastic and the eye goes right up the arm down to the brides eye and then off the frame with the gentleman on the right. Simple clean and eloquent. Very well done.

Judges Comment: The tint on the toning to compliment the pink scarf is a really nice touch. I like that you can't see exactly who or what the three women are looking at. Simple image that works very well.

Judges Comment: The muted color offset by the woman wearing red and looking at the dress is really quite striking. This image would have placed well in both Getting Ready and in the Reflection category. The people in the second mirror on the left gazing at what we see in the mirror on the right is a really nice touch. Overall the image has great composition, great gesture and is rather graphic. Well done.

Judges Comment: I like the muted tones here and love that there are essentially two scenes occurring which compliment each other instead of distract from each other. The ladies in the back with the dress form one scene and the girl in the foreground creates a second but the toning carries them together perfectly.

Judges Comment: It is all about the red roses which catch the eye and then leads the eye back to the hair and makeup in the back of the photograph. The only thing I find distractive here is the arm of the chair in the front right which I would suggest cropping out or cloning out.

Judges Comment: A sensual and well executed image. The texture and toning add to the sensual nature of the image. I might have cropped down a little more from the top. I thing the arm across the breast and the upper left corner create an unclean edge.

Judges Comment: The toning and effect work well and I like the angles formed from the two arms down to the shoe. I would suggest cloning or cropping the dead space in the top right hand corner.

Judges Comment: Fun image. The juxtaposition of the red shoes amongst all the white creates graphic appeal and the angle is great. I might suggest adding a bit more white to the dress which would accentuate the lines and curves in the dress but still a very nice image.

Judges Comment: Great angle and great scene. Two stories in the picture and they both work really well together. The dress hanging and forming an angle from the top of the frame contrasting the makeup session forming an angle from the front bottom of the scene. Nice job.

Judges Comment: You have to really look at this image and the more I looked at it the more I liked it and the more bizarre the image gets. I love the arms coming out of the side and love the tone. I do find that the front right side is distracting and should be cropped out but it is still a very neat image.

Judges Comment: The kiss between the couple and the tongue of the dog being out is a great juxtaposition. Like the muted tones and the placement of the dog along with the eye contact from the dog. Very funny and bizarre.

Judges Comment: Nicely executed. The dress could use a bit more detail and I am distracted by the open door on the upper left but the image still has a very nice feel to it.

Judges Comment: I think the effect works pretty well here. I might like to see a little more detail in the hair spray but I do like the light and tone of this image.

Judges Comment: Very bizarre image. I love the guy jogging looking down at whatever is going on. The colors of the foreground are also a nice contrast against the muted background.

Judges Comment: Simple and well done revealing a nice intimate moment while getting ready. I wish it was quite so tight on the right hand side but still a nice moment.

Judges Comment: Nicely toned and a nice intimate moment. I do wish the chair on the right was cropped out as I find it distracting.

Judges Comment: I love the soft focus on the bride and the sharp focus on the doorknob. The image has good detail throughout and nice soft light.

Judges Comment: Pretty and sensual image. I love the soft focus and sense of motion. I wish the chair on the left side were cloned out so the entire left side were all white but still a very nice image.

Judges Comment: Pretty simple but clean image and nicely toned.

Judges Comment: Very nice image. Love the contrasting green and white and love the overhead angle. There are some hot spots in the back and on the right which should have been toned down but overall a very nice image.
