1st Place: Michael Barber from Ohio, United StatesJudges Comments
It's been done before, but this one's done so well. The expression, the timing, the light and composition all come together

Judges Comments
Calm before the storm kind of moment that will be more and more meaningful to those involved as the years go by. A special, intimate moment likely between father and daughter captures their special bond.

3rd Place: Todd Hougas from Connecticut, United StatesJudges Comments
Chosen because a mood is strongly established with off-center subject, earthy hues is out-of-focus area and expression on subject's face.

4th Place: Amy Deputy from Maryland, United StatesJudges Comments
Love the sense of color and mystery.

Judges Comments
A quiet off-beat moment that mixed serenity with humor and nice photographic design. A slight crop from the right, to remove the edge of lamp shade but still show the cord in the wall, makes the image even quirkier.

This captures the stressful, nothing's-going-right, nervous part of getting ready. The hands, the worried faces, the fussy bride - and the cell phone, which is an extra touch.

Composition and dramatic, side light help to convey the sense of finding a moment of solitude in the midst of likely wedding ceremony chaos.
