Ceremony: Images that capture guests and participants throughout pre-ceremony, vow-exchange, and receiving line activity.
Judges Comment: The infrared works very well here and truly enhances the elegance of the horse drawn carriage. Great light and the child in the man's arms waving from the side is a nice touch. Great execution and a really nice image.
Judges Comment: Strong composition with the subject framed in the right third of the frame. Nice capture of emotion and gesture and the toning works well.
Judges Comment: Nice gesture created with the folded hands and good composition. I especially love that you can tell exactly what is happening here and yet you don't see either face. Really nice image.
Judges Comment: Very simple graphic but dynamic image. The checker pattern on the floor which creates a repetitive pattern contrasts very well with the black and white attire of the people. Having a predominately black background also helps to enhance a sense of drama. Nice Job.
Judges Comment: Very nice moment captured as the gentleman adjusts his tie. Good composition and I love the reflection on the left side of the floor. I think the image would have even more impact if the lights at the top were cropped out especially the one on the right side which is just partly in the frame.
Judges Comment: Really nice backlight creating a strong graphic but maintaining excellent detail in the front of the couple entering. The framing with the extra black space aids the composition.
Judges Comment: Good clean composition and great detail in this HDR like rendering. Well done.
Judges Comment: The couple under the veil is nicely done. I love the emotion showing between the couple and then the secondary emotion and reaction of those in the crowd. Great light and very good detail rendered throughout the image.
Judges Comment: Very nice image with good emotion and the rain creates a nice sense of gesture and I love the angle. Nice job.
Judges Comment: Humorous moment captured at the right angle. Nice toning.
Judges Comment: Strong graphic. The angle is nice as is the composition. The extreme burning around the bride and groom creates drama with all the black space but I wish that it was either closer to the bride and groom or not quite as harsh especially just to the left of the bride.
Judges Comment: This image is all about the little boy. The look on his face is fantastic and there is great light and very nice use of composition.
Judges Comment: Love the eyes and expression on the guy on the right as the other two hug.
Judges Comment: Strong graphic and nice angle. The image would be stronger with a tad less contrast and a bit more detail but still a very nice image.
Judges Comment: Really nice image with good design and composition, great detail and very nice light.
Judges Comment: I love the shoes and not quite touching the floor and I like the crop and composition. Nice job.
Judges Comment: The child makes the image creating a really nice sense of gesture. The image could use a little more mid tone contrast which would help accentuate the blacks and whites.
Judges Comment: Nice emotion and nice toning. The whites are a bit harsh and the image could use a bit more detail in the blacks but still a nice image.
Judges Comment: The baby is great and I like the focus on the foreground with the background soft. The image would be stronger with more detail in the whites especially in the background.
Judges Comment: Very nice toning on this overall of the ceremony as the bride and groom make their way past the audience.
