This picture is exceptional; it just leaped out and rose to the top. Every expression, the arms reaching into the bride, the applause, it's just great. It really signifies the fun, camaraderie and high spirits that are present at weddings. Beautifully done.

Excellent light, moment and composition. It all works. Color is also effective in this case.

This picture pays off for a photographer taking a risk, and getting a beautiful moment that also speaks to a sense of place.

The emotion in the bride's face and hand is what brings me into the image and the moment.

True feeling of excitment & emotion.

Judges Comments
An interesting vantage point that luckily coincided with the subject tilting his head back and making a strongly expressive gesture.

Judges Comments
Touching moment with a dramatic flare! Relatively slow shutter speed (and/or breeze) adds to the feel of photograph.
