A really strong image for this category. I like the muted AL and the little bit of red that highlights the bride's profile. I'd like to see what this looks like twisted so the line on the frame is straight.

This is a very exciting picture. It' s very creative and subtle, shows nothing and everything. Clear forms, few information and nevertheless stretching. The motive and the instant are very well selected of the photographer. Great.

I love this photograph. The photographer has really taken advantage of the fortuitous content of that painting at left. Everything in threes—the three in the painting, the three women and their reflections and then they all add up to three. It's wonderfully composed—everything repeats the image in the painting and the moment is sweet as well.

This is such a great moment. He's paying no attention to her, but checking himself out in the mirror. Everything is framed perfectly, his head and hands by the window, his reflection in the mirror and her prominent in the foreground.

A nice bright vivid frame that highlights the decadence of this location. Also a touching moment well caught to add.

A perfect solution for a summary screen. By the indistinct way you can discover a lot and nevertheless is defies the many small details the main idea basic for the picture.

Talk about people being is different worlds. It looks like there are 4 separate scenes here. The kid's reflection makes you wonder what she thinks of all of it. The photo is complicated and wonderfully layered. If you had 10 photographers in that same spot, they could have made 10 different photographs, yet I suspect this one would be the strongest. The photographer made all of these disparate elements work.

17th Place: Hassel Weems from Georgia, United StatesJudges Comments
The photographer has caught this strange little moment with these women in this tight space that don't seem to have anything to say to one another. It feels quite sad to me. The bonus is the men reflected in the mirror.

This is a strong composition with an interesting shape. Better lighting or maybe the bottom of the frame brought out a little more could have made this image better.
