Judges Comment: Very graphic and filled with emotion. The light background against the white dress works well and helps to make this a very dynamic image.

Judges Comment: A terrific and unexpected moment nicely captured despite a tricky lighting situation.

Judges Comment: There are two stories happening in this image. I love the two girls taking a selfie while the other gets made up in the adjacent room. The composition and colors work well.

Judges Comment: The layering of the abstract lights and background reflections work well to create depth, mood and lots of visual interest.

Judges Comment: This is a fascinating image. The point of view is unique. I love how I can see the texture of the skin, hair and dress.

Judges Comment: Perfect use of limited light. How the faces play off each other and the subtle color is interesting too.

Judges Comment: Love the graphic and color interest of the red shoe. Also like the crop showing just a bit of the face. Well done.

Judges Comment: Smartly and eloquently cropped and designed. The aggressive crop could easily look contrived, but the direction of eyes, perfect balance, and subtle use of the border all work to create a whimsical image.

Judges Comment: Thank you for taking a fresh approach on a bride preparing for her big day. The tightly composed composition makes for an excellent photo.

Judges Comment: The reflection is really nice and the background has so much going on that it is almost like a puzzle. Nice job.

Judges Comment: Strong use of black and white. The woman in the shadow works well to balance the composition and to create additional interest.

Judges Comment: A very compelling image. The bride is lost in her thoughts, so we don’t feel the photographer’s presence at all. The added hand takes the story to a higher level.
