AG|WPJA Q4 2016 PHOTO CONTEST CONTEST
Reception: Check your watch – it’s party o’clock. View creatively documented images of the reception, from the cocktail hour to the last dance, defining the personality of the wedding in one image.
Judges Comment: Effervescent vibrant energy provides a radiant joie de vivre that springs from the photo. Gorgeous tonal palette enhances the image.
Judges Comment: I like the immersive and abstract dimension of the fabric and the overlaying and framing of the bride’s face.
Judges Comment: The beautiful light, composition and expressions create a timeless image.
Judges Comment: Sweet, quiet moment these two boys are sharing. Beautiful light and shapes of the glasses makes this image sing.
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.
