Getting Ready: These are the things that take place before the wedding. See the emotion and personality as it’s revealed through the prepping, grooming, arranging, outfitting, and anticipation before the ceremony.
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.
