A unique and wonderfully atmospheric moment between a bride and her baby. Great job of backing off when appropriate.

2nd Place: Rick Collins from British Columbia, CanadaJudges Comments
I like that the photographer stepped back to show the overall scene - with the small kids’ clothes hanging from the sconces. The could be happening anywhere, but with the full scene, you see that it’s to keep the little one occupied before the wedding.

I love how this image resembles a religious icon. The soft colors and soft textures work together beautifully.

Just a great shot. The layering in composition, the information, the dynamism, the light make this pictures a really strong photojournalistic one.

A great moment cleanly captured. Hope the groom’s not too jealous.

Beautifully seen. The reflection is well placed among layers of faces. The look of awe adds even more power.

Showing all the faces of the groom’s party in this prep photo is nice. All in various stages of dress.

11th Place: Craig Wolfrom from Idaho, United StatesJudges Comments
At first I thought this was dresses being brought out but instead it’s chairs. I like the different people carrying them out- women, men, wedding party, not.

Many elements work together to make this photo a great one: the expression of the child, the kiss, the hands, the lines, the light, the elegance and grace.

It is refreshing to see the bride’s arrival from a new perspective. I like how the flag adds symbolism and a dash of color, but wish this photo was framed a little tighter.

A sleeper that kept moving up the line for its beauty and class.

The use of limited depth of field, layers and shapes make this a very intriguing photo.
