Terrific image. Great color, strong graphic and excellent gesture.

The photographer has been very creative here in using the difference in filtration to separate the two bodies yet allowing them to meet in one portion of the frame. The filtration also allows for a clean area behind the spot where their heads meet for the kiss yet allows for context in the background of the other part of the frame. Nice body language in the couple.

This picture really stood out from the pack for me. What a great mood and use of light. It’s really got feeling.

I ultimately chose this photo for the moment with the elderly women in the park. It was like having two portraits in one. I love contrasting and comparing elements and this photo did that for me in addition to being a nice portrait of the couple. I think this couple will really enjoy this photo for years to come.

I think that this is an absolutely beautiful portrait. The expressions on both faces, the framing, and the fact that the hands lead the eye to the woman and later the man all work. The light is soft and delicate – appropriate to the photograph.

Creative and fun approach. Love the blurred background. Nice job.

This is a fun-filled photograph that the photographer creatively made by getting on the ride with the couple. The photographer captured a terrific moment that is emphasized because of the slow shutter speed and blurred background. Very nice.

Loved the wide open composition of this with great light -- it really works and I suspect compliments who this couple is.

A great sense of where the couple is.

The photographer captured a good sense of personality and sense of relationship by photographing the groom with the pumpkin in front of his face and allowing the bride to react. Nice, soft light and good setting handled well.

Very graphic with great light. The image may be stronger without the one dark pipe on the left side.

I liked this riskiness of this picture, having fun with it and not worrying that it didn’t portray them in a glamour shot kind of way.

This portrait relies on a wonderful moment where two people seem elated to be together and deeply in love.
