Nicely done image of a couple strolling through a grand old city, and what a view!
Easily the winner. Everything works, but even in this image the lens was tilted and the buildings are starting to warp.

Nicely framed. Love the way photographer stepped back and absorbed the setting as well as focus on the ceremony.

The angle makes this work. The limited depth of field works very well too.

This photo has interesting architecture, but the contrast of the dusk light and tungsten light that accentuates the architecture even more.
Nice color and light.

A different look. Not as clean as I would like, but interesting.
Photographer's Comment
This photo was taken during the wedding reception. After the initial congratulations from friends and family, I always try and take some time to find new and interesting perspectives. What attracted me to this scene was the symmetry; each mirror reflecting part of an archway. By exposing for the outside light, I was able to create a nice contrast throughout the photo. The resulting image speaks to me because of the combination of the interesting composition and the great lighting.

Colorful dresses set against the green grass make the girls pop. Just a nice moment of girls running away from the camera with the tents in the horizon makes an interesting graphics.
