1st Place: Raymond Phang from Singapore, SingaporeJudges Comments
The photographer caught a great moment. The light with the backlit bubbles and the headlight makes it all come together.
This was another picture that just had a graphic beauty to it, enhanced by the bride’s smile. Nicely executed.
Wonderful light, wonderful feeling. The composition is a bit too dead center, but the overall content overcomes that.

2nd Place: Matt Adcock from Quintana Roo, MexicoJudges Comments
It’s a lovely photograph that is so different from what we normally see. Love that the photographer is getting wet.
This got my vote just because it was a unique angle!
Terrific seeing with an unusual and unexpected view.

This is a fun photograph with lots going on side to side and top to bottom. Are the bells tolling?
This is a fun image of a fun moment that is simply a pleasure to look at. The photograph was likely a reaction to what was happening, and could only be improved slightly by a change in its framing.
Great find, looking away from the typical.

The symmetrical elements work great. It gives a feel of a moment of great importance.
There was just a great graphic beauty in this image. I like the tone and the mood of this image. Well done.

Reflections are always worth looking for, but don't always produce results like this. There is a lot going on in this frame which makes it enjoyable to look at, but the look on the bride's face, and the fact that it is the focus of the image, sets it apart from others like it.

Great moment, great angle and great layers.

The photographer of this image should be congratulated for not taking the standard image of the newlyweds exiting the church. Exposure, soft light, and soft focus, add to the dreamlike quality of this image that I'm sure would be enjoyed by any couple who commissioned it.

Terrific reaction; would have rated higher if the composition had not been so static center-placed.
