Judges Comment: Really beautiful and striking image. The sense of movement and the tone really work well together. I love the highlights on the face and the shadow on the front. Great Job.
Judges Comment: Exceptionally creative and very well executed. Technically there is great detail in all the whites of the dress and in the deepest shadows and very good detail in the brides face.
Judges Comment: Another really well executed image. They really do look like they are sitting on the clouds. Excellent job.
Judges Comment: Good concept and good execution. I think if the flames in the foreground merged into the flames on the dress that it would work even better.
Judges Comment: Fun upbeat portrait and good concept. I love the purple and green ties as a touch and love the sunglasses.
Judges Comment: The levitation is fun and I love the groom in the air and the bride on the ground. Great texture on the wall behind really adds to this and there is good detail in both the highlights and the shadows.
Judges Comment: A nice twist on the American Gothic. I like the tone and color and love the shovel. The square format also works well.
Judges Comment: Love the fact that the bride is not looking at the camera. There is a very mystical quality.
Judges Comment: One of several really good balloon levitation shots. Great composition and color and good detail in whites and blacks.
Judges Comment: Excellent image from an iconic world spot. Love the composition and the texture of the contrasting sky.
Judges Comment: Humorous and well done.
Judges Comment: The dark tones with the tungsten sky create good drama and the red silhouetted umbrella contrasts nicely against the blue.
Judges Comment: I love the concept and I love the dark sky. I wish the bride had just a bit more contrast and maybe a bit more white to make her stand out a bit more.
Judges Comment: Good concept, composition and tone. I love the balloons against the sky and the bride reaching for the groom. It might be a little stronger if the bride were higher off the ground.
Judges Comment: Excellent texture, light and composition all come together. Very well done.
Judges Comment: There is a softness in this silhouette which really works well with the very warm light and the flowing veil.
Judges Comment: Love the sense of motion in the dress and the texture and tone of the walls. The mask and the candles are a nice touch which aid the strong composition.
Judges Comment: Great color and a good angle. While it is subjective I also like the reflections in the window slightly blocking the view of the couples face.
Judges Comment: The repetitive pattern of alternating blue creates a nice pattern and nice graphic. I like all the negative space created with the sky and I like the toned down sky. Well done.
Judges Comment: The composition is really fantastic and creates a very graphic image. Love all the white and all the detail held in the very rich whites.
