1st Place: Ronaldo Filho from Paraiba, BrazilJudges Comments
Fun, graphic photo. I like that they look so similar yet are all in their own little (cell phone) worlds.
This image really stood apart against the rest. Great use of color and moment between the members of the bridal party.

A warm mood and a complex mixture of emotions. Well seen, composed and timed.

3rd Place: Jackelini Kil from Parana, BrazilJudges Comments
Fantastic, iconic image. Love the repetition of the bottles as well as the shape of her face and hair. Cropping the can on the far left would make the photograph even stronger, I think.

A groom being groomed. This was an unusual take on wedding day preparation. Great use of layering, moment and the silhouette of the youth really add interest to this frame.
