The most surprising and entertaining of the bunch. Good to have a dog in the dressing room, I guess. How perfect! I love how the bride isn't even aware of it. Subtle, but very funny. You'd think the dog knew just how funny he was being at this moment.

This quirky situation is wonderfully accented by the sign on the photo booth. The contrast between the two sets of brides makes it, but the way the bride's gown breaks the frame brings enough visual interest to be more than just a couple of tongues.

There's nothing in this image to distract from the main attraction, the pucker. Perfect. Some kisses, like this one, are meant to be seen, not felt. This image is so simple, but exactly what was needed to show this moment. I think good photographs are ones we can all relate to, and I think we can all certainly do that here.

This image has great expression and moment. A simple composition but with a surprise. It seems like everyone has a version of this photo—but this one makes you laugh out loud and seems completely natural—not aware of the photographer.

Wow! Look at those eyes. This image is loaded with fun, but the reaction of the man in the chair really makes it a winner. Super!

Some children, at certain times are meant to be seen, not held. I can only imagine what is on his hand. But she doesn't look too surprised.

The action is funny, twice. The guys crowding around to see the picture in the camera; the guy to the left being goofy. The straightforward framing makes the photo even funnier by kind of deadpanning it.

Juxtapositions can make for wacky moments. This one certainly does. I think he's running out of room to move away from her. Last call for that woman.

9th Place: Mary Means from Indiana, United StatesJudges Comments
A wonderfully caught moment and surprising situation that feels very unique. A better expression on the woman on the far left would have pushed this to the top.

This is an image that one can make jokes about, it is more than just humorous, it inspires humor.
