Very graphic image with strong composition. Love the bird and the bicycle.,
Love all the elements in motion in this frame from Paris. The image captures a freeing moment that is impressionistic in style with a documentary feeling. ,

What great seeing to make this high ranking Engagement Portrait. Everything works and it is a wonderful image in its own right.
The image has lots of activity but the couple really stands out making this a really strong image.,
Beautiful framing and moment of a couple stopped in traffic as they kiss. Black and white helps focus on the couple as life goes on around them. Terrific architecture helps create a romantic setting. ,

A nice moment with the couple mesmerized by each other, enjoying the thrill of the ride, from an unusual angle.,
Lens selection, framing, expression and depth of field make this photograph a top winner. Great energy in the movement and eye connection make this a beautiful moment. The black and white keeps the focus on their expressions with each other. ,
