A wonderful, innocent photo of a young girl–maybe a flower girl or younger sister– peeking at the bride's ring. It has the feel of a stolen moment; one that maybe she never knew was taken. Despite the straight-forwardness of the composition, this one jumped out of this category from the start

A perfect feature picture. The hands, the flowers, the kid going away. Great...

It feels like I'm looking at two separate pictures that happen to be in the same frame.

This picture is very clean. The different layers work well together and the composition is very accurate.

The bride is calm. Probably an attempt to gather up a group..... The photographer did a good job reacting fast.

A parable about the sexes to be sure. Goofball guy, hamming it up...and a young lady who completely knows already she wants to be married, and to one of these creatures called boys. Expression and gesture carry the day.

This one reminded me of the famous Alfred Eisenstaedt photo of the kids following the drum major. Just a nice photo of kids being kids, simple and straight forward, but captured well of the girl parading the boys behind her.

Elegant! This is a very natural looking photo. The perfect sleeping pose for a little bride's maid. Perfect light. A very intimate moment captured exceptionally well. Excellent recognition of a great photo opportunity by the photographer.

Kids do not have a long attention span. The photographer had the presence of mind to see this and to shoot it before the action picked up again. The real moment carries the day for this one.

There is god use of the natural architectural lines. The framing of the subject is well placed and really pops from the background.

A great picture with a great composition. The expression of wonder on the child's face makes it a great moment.

How can you resist the expression? Good lens use, and good color, but most of all, good timing.
