Judges Comments
First place is a winner for the obvious humor. We've all seen routine cake cutting photos. This one, because of the kilt and knife, reminded us of Mike Myers in "I Married An Axe Murderer." Those big eyes tell a cute story.

We loved second place for it's composition. The stoic father/guest watching family photos. It underscores the fact that there are great moments to be had AWAY from the thing you think is the moment!

3rd Place: Todd Hougas from Connecticut, United StatesJudges Comments
Third place or the same reason: It turns a routine photo--the receiving line or portrait session--into an actual moment in which something is happening. Wedding photography is always about happy people. Wedding photojournalism is about real people and Lord knows brides get pooped during the course of the day.
