Colors, framing, composition and body language create the mood of this creative detail which gives a lovely sense of place.

Judges Comments

Decision to crop out faces results in telling photograph of the symbols of the relationship between two people. An obvious picture done in a very unobvious way: it just feels like the arms are meant to be that way

Judges Comments

Strong composition, with almost perfect symmetry and intimate body language make this detail photograph compelling.

Judges Comments

Sensitive eye for small objects, color, contrast and mood.

Judges Comments

Texture and clean composition work for this photograph of one hand exploring a wedding ring on another. In addition to affording detail, the photograph evokes a sense of curiosity.

Photographer's Comment

I noticed the newlywed bride visiting with her very old grandmother and knew there would be a great photo from that encounter. The old and young hands with their wedding rings is a favorite of this bride.

Nice idea, well done.

You can almost hear the women in this picture admiring the ring of this new bride as she enjoys showing off her new jewelry. The angle from above is just right.

Judges Comments

Simple, subtle, nice light, nice eye for texture, quiet mood.
