Emotion

The best moment stands out in an incredibly strong category. We feel your nervousness, little guy! Tears of joy or of sorrow? Or are they tears because he had to walk down the aisle with a girl? Probably the latter but priceless moment all the same. This picture is delightful. It's a terrific moment.

A clean and crisp documentary image of son and father that will resonate with all for many years to come. It is a picture that speaks about culture and tradition. You can only imagine what they are talking about, and yet you know the son will always remember what was said when he looks back at this picture. Excellent! Unusual and poignant.

Lovely moment between the bride and I assume her mother. It looks like they are doing something they have done for years. One of those sweet and intimate ways we communicate our love to one another. Very sweet moment between bride and mother. Almost didn't see the bride's hand coming up in the lower portion of the frame. Would have tried to get lower to make the hand more prominent.

This poor woman looks like one of her children just died. It looks like spot news---so if you're looking for emotion, this is it.

A touching picture that echoes that old adage that a man is his mother's son until he takes a wife. No matter how many years have past, the mother still comforts her son like the little boy who just fell off his bike. The love is unspoken and this photo will be a powerful reminder to both in years to come. I love the wrinkled hands wiping away the tears. Nice moment and nice way of seeing it.

Elegant composition, appropriately backed off just a bit. Every part of the frame reinforces the love.

Great expression. Who says it's all about the bride? Would have cropped in from the right to really make the face pop. You don't need to see the guy's actual sleeve at right.

This is great emotion. The poor Dad is trying so hard to hold back his tears.

A wedding brings so many emotions to the participants. This picture is a well-crafted display of a variety of emotional expressions from the foreground and back to the carefully framed participants in the rear. Excellent composition of a fleeting moment.

Beautiful moment. You can really feel the emotion in this picture. Love the blown out background and the sack of money.
