Judges Comment: Dreamlike atmosphere of reception dance evokes a feeling of floating on a floor of rainbows.

Judges Comment: Perfect timing!

Judges Comment: The high-powered strobe really makes the colors pop in this image. Besides freezing the dancer in mid-whatever he's doing, the guests are illuminated and it's fun moving around the frame looking at the different expressions.

Judges Comment: Superb reception scene with dramatic lighting and stimulating environmental composition.

Judges Comment: Otherworldly misty ambiance is enriched by the bride’s mask, evocative of a Venetian carnival.

Judges Comment: Fun cake-cutting image with peak moment. The lighting is handled well and the light reflections resembling tiny flames at the bottom of the frame are the surprise.

Judges Comment: The photographer took advantage of the funky disco balls displayed in a circular pattern and mimicked the same with the couple's arms. The funky color and the low angle really make this picture work. If I were them, I'd have this blown up to a 20x30 and hang it prominently in my home.

Judges Comment: The great light on the bubbles, the child’s expression and the carnival character behind the bubbles create a magical scene.

Judges Comment: A moment of intense intimacy as lens boldly frames the detail of a kiss within an embrace the viewer feels wrapped in with the couple. The contrast of color intensifies the mood.
