1st Place: Mark Earthy from London, EnglandJudges Comments
I like that the bride is running the show in this photo. The husband plays a great second fiddle to the bride. I like that she has the confidence to fix her hair while driving a bus. Love this. Very funny. It works in spite of the fish eye lens.

Nice composition. Very simple. Perfect pose. Great look. Clouds top it off. I like the lens selection. I kept coming back to this photo. It is stunning. The subdued light keeps the tones true.

This is just different. The natural light works here as does the peach walls on either side of the couple. This is a very unique photo. Capturing the bride and groom in a glass elevator with the balconies is very graphic.

This photo works. The car is cool; the couple is carefree and ready to go. The decision to throw the couple out of focus and concentrate the focus on the car is a nice touch. Nice detail photo of the car with a great sense of emotion of the married couple.

A beautiful documentary black and white image capturing the emotion of the bride as the groom gives her a kiss. Also, adding to the composition is a great sense of place and the people reacting at right trying to photograph and smiling in reaction. This photo would have never worked if the depth of field weren't shallow making the background soft and impressionistic.

This toothless little boy's expression works well with the composition of this image that is very strong graphically. Just a nice candid moment that turns into a group portrait that I am sure the wedding party will cherish in the years to come.

This picture is done tastefully. The couple is the focal point and the car used as a backdrop is executed perfectly. The light in the corner adds a nice balance to the photo. This looked like a still from a movie from the 30's. Love the atmosphere.

I loved this picture, it says so much about the journey of marriage. Very symbolic. Beautiful light, wonderful composition. Took me worlds away from the cliches.

After so many bride and groom kissing images, this one is refreshing. I hope that the gesture is being made to the boyfriend who got away.

This photo captures the bride and groom speeding away. The closeness of the arms coming out the window gives it a personal touch.

Nice texture is displayed through light with graphic composition and the capturing of this bride's emotion as she departs from her vehicle.

I think this photo could have been composed better, but it's still a winner. It captures the scene very well.
