Emotion

Judges Comments
This is a beautiful, storytelling photograph. The photographer caught this moment and isolated the subjects with a long lens. The space in front of the couple allows them to move into the future and their new lives, yet the bride is still holding onto her mother's hand. The mother seems pleased but reluctant to let go. It's quiet, subtle and wonderful.

Awesome. Simple and not all tricked up but just flat out brilliant emotion!

The photographer has caught this great moment with deeply heartfelt expressions and has also chosen to leave the people in the background who seem to be really appreciating the moment while respecting their privacy. The foreground image is really strong just by itself—the hands and heads completing a circle. But the background is just out of focus enough to let you linger on the foreground image without distraction and then go back to the background to appreciate that layer also.

Subtle and sweet. Just the expression in his eyes tells a whole story.

A beautifull bride, a pretty smile and happy tears – such a photo cannot turn to be spoiled! The light is brilliant and by the diffuse way of taking this photo, the picture wins a big touch of romantic.

This picture is vibrant, colorful and full of life. These people are obviously overjoyed at their pending nuptials, I also like the cultural eastern feel of this well caught emotional picture.

Perfect! The combination succeeded between a brilliant colour photo and a picture of strong emotions. It is unusual, but both elements can exists/stand next to each other and harmonize together.

I think this picture has a nice composition, it's a warm tender moment that's been shared with the photographer with oblivion to their presence of a camera.

This seems to be some moment shared not only by the bride and groom but also by the friends and family behind them. One gets a strong feeling of support from the lineup of people in the background. The expression is subtle but the moment seems so genuine. Classic. Nice colors and a real sense of joy.

This is such a great, joyous moment caught in a bit of a different way than most of the other photographs. The composition is tight, framed a bit unusually but captures the great smiles and facial expressions and the lines of the woman's clavicle combined with her necklace add a spark of elegance.

Again, raw and honest. The tattoos make the image perfect, such emotion and such company!

Well solved! How often we have seen this motive? But here, the photographer used graphic knowledge and created a new, fantastic motive. I like, how the photographer cut the brides face, but it is too strong for the picture. The eye of the bride is very important for this picture because the focus is laying on it.

It took me a while to see this but when I did it really made me stop.

I like the colors and joyous expressions of this picture as well as the tattoo on the arm of the girl I also like the balance of slow AL light and a nice subtle mix of flash.
