1st Place: David De Dios from Arizona, United StatesJudges Comments
This was absolutely stunning. The film choice contrasted nicely with the lines of the building, the shadows running across the room, and the position of the brides and groom made this just outstanding. Well done.

Great setting, but the umbrella makes it better. Nice simple pastoral scene.

3rd Place: Susan Stripling from Florida, United StatesJudges Comments
I loved the quiet drama and cool elegance of this image. It could almost be a painting. I love the feel I get from this one. Beautiful and relaxed.

Beautiful strong composition. I love the way that the bride's train echoes the arches. Nice job. Waiting the bride to be in the right position between the columns was worth the wait. The constrast of the column, large and bold, constrasting again the delicate bride added to the already well composed photograph.

Strange Joel Sternfeld like scene that is very evocative. Great as a photograph but I wonder about the client's reaction.

I really appreciated this quiet moment against the stark background. It feels so real.

It is wonderful the photographer found this moment. The layering of the levels in the scene made this picture work for me. The composition kept my eye exploring the picture. The person in the foreground, possibly the brides added a nice moment to the scene

The umbrella made this picture. It was all about the constast in this picture for me, the small couple against the big building, the white umbrella against the dark backroom, etc. Simple but striking.

Conventional but well executed photograph that uses color very well.
