Judges Comment: I loved this shot as soon as I saw it. The gesture, tone and sense of texture really make this a compelling image. I might suggest a crop on the left side to clean it up a little and to bring down the hot spot behind the lamp but either way this image is still a strong winner.

Judges Comment: Everything in this image works. Great graphic appeal and design. The tone and lack of detail in the skin in conjunction with the very dominant lines of the eyelashes work very well together.

Judges Comment: The ring in the foreground draws the eye and then your eye goes immediately to the soft focus on the bride. The composition, light and the tilt work very well together and I love the different tonal qualities in all the shades of white.

Judges Comment: I love the crop which helps create a strong sense of design. The softness of the tones and great detail in all the whites contribute to make this a very successful and beautiful image.

Judges Comment: Nice composition and light which create a sense of drama. The soft focus pregnant bride in the background works well. Good detail throughout the image. I would suggest cleaning up the right side of the image or a crop just on the right side of the dress.

Judges Comment: Really great graphic image, strong design. I might suggest cleaning up the image on the top and bottom of the smoke and even to extend the smoke all the way to the top of the frame.

Judges Comment: Very simple clean and elegant. I love all the soft whites and the gesture of the woman.

Judges Comment: Neat image with the mirrors accented by strong composition and tone.

Judges Comment: I love that each of them are doing exactly the same thing. Nicely toned. I would clone out the camera.

Judges Comment: Nicely done. I love the sharp focus on the video camera screen and the soft focus on the subject. The toning is nice. The image could use a bit more detail in the hand holding the video camera.

Judges Comment: I very much like the design of this image accented by the flowers. I would like to see a little more detail in the whites especially in the front of the dress.

Judges Comment: The negative white space in this image creates a strong sense of design. I would like to see a better color balance on the bride especially on her face and dress.

Judges Comment: Very nice candid moment. I love the expression on everyones face and the gesture. The composition works very well.

Judges Comment: I love the low angle and the light. I actually like this image much more when the image is cropped eliminating the woman bending down on the right side.

Judges Comment: Love the color and design. I would like to see a just a bit more detail in the face.

Judges Comment: Very nice tone and composition. I like the mirror a great deal. I think the image is stronger if the gentleman is cropped out.

Judges Comment: Love the expression and the eye looking up and the sense of gesture created by the hair.

Judges Comment: A charming image as the duo simultaneously adjust their ties. Nicely toned and very good detail in the whites and the blacks.

Judges Comment: The two scenes work well together here. Very good detail throughout the entire image.

Judges Comment: Very nice design, and color and I really like the high contrast here. Love the juxtaposition of the bride and the woman under the umbrella on the beach.
