Well-deconstructed scene. Touching upon the issue of friends, humor and giving a behind the scenes look.

2nd Place: Nadra Edgerley from Maine, United StatesJudges Comments
The image works by not being overly romantic yet has a feeling of mixed emotions. The well-lit flowing virginal dress is very American and touches on expectations and fear.

Norman Rockwell meets zombie bride. I really love this image. She is totally overwhelmed and mentally exhausted at the same time. Love the distance that the photographer is using here. No distortion from lens choice.

9th Place: Marianne Earthy from London, EnglandJudges Comments
Well-composed moment with good light. Her posture, expression and her dress along with the bag text create the feeling of a bride unsure of her next step, exhausted and that the wedding is over and life begins.

Pure beauty, the lens choice and composition are very modern. An image that draws emotion without knocking you over the head with gimmicks.

Truly, truly candid moment, again the sensitivity of the photographer to stand back and use a normal lens.
