Judges Comment: There is a sense of intimacy that really makes this image work. Love all the shades of white and dark to light going down the stairs.

Judges Comment: I like the intimacy and the feeling of descending the stairs with the bride. The de-saturated color enhances the mood.

Judges Comment: This is what I like to call a smart image. While it is not a quick read, it is very well thought out and it begs the viewer to look and figure it out. Well done.

Judges Comment: The graphic quality of this photo is compelling, but what really made this was the expression on the man’s face. A very creative “getting ready” photo, good seeing by the photographer and well-toned.

Judges Comment: The reflection in this image is beautiful on its own. The surrounding elements are skillfully composed and create a compelling narrative enhanced by great tonality and light.

Judges Comment: Strong overall of the event with a lot going on and it all works.

Judges Comment: Love this image. Every now and then you find an image that you haven’t seen and this is one of those moments. The image has both humor and spontaneity.

Judges Comment: Strong graphic impact and design.

Judges Comment: I love the decisive moment and the strong back light emphasizes that moment. Good layered composition and the desaturation in the tones reinforces the mood.

Judges Comment: Nice job of behind the scenes and the color is striking.

Judges Comment: The light rays create a powerful sense of drama.
