A celebration during the reception that is delicately framed by the celebratory hands being waved in the air. Great job of capturing the joy here. Perfect composition and sense of energy. Everything in the frame works together as your eye travels around it.

Great timing makes for an enjoyable moment. Are you kidding me. Sports photography at a wedding. This guy is going to get hurt. This really is a fun, action-packed image.

Good emotion and framing of the beginning of a "Chair Dance", with both the bride and groom showing their anticipation of the event.

Judges Comments
Most "Money-dance" traditions require the money to be pinned on the bride. Not sure how the money stayed on this couple except for maybe glue, but it made an interesting photograph with good interaction.

The one and only good use of the fisheye lens of all of the submissions. I usually cringe when I see this lens being used but it kind of works here.

Henna-covered hands frame the face of the groom. The framing emphasizes the emotion as well as the tradition. Nice clean moment of affection.

9th Place: Hassel Weems from Georgia, United StatesJudges Comments
Wonderful juxtaposition of figures. Little girl peering from behind the curtain adds depth. Fun, full of life. Love the body language on man in chair. Cropping tighter on both sides could bring your eye more quickly to the moment.

A little stronger composition would have helped out here but fun photo nonetheless.
