Judges Comments
The first and second place images are wowzers pictures. It was a pretty tough decision. First place is a perfect combo of architectural photography and motion. Ditto for second place. You get a sense of place. But without the bride the photo would be static. She adds the life the image needs. First place won because of its beautiful overall planned composition. The photographer knew the image would happen as the bride walked down the stairs and did a wonderful job of executing the picture.

Nice image. Good blur. The first and second place images are wowzers pictures. It was a pretty tough decision. First place is a perfect combo of architectural photography and motion. Ditto for second place. You get a sense of place. But without the bride the photo would be static. She adds the life the image needs. Second place has a dreamy and ethereal quality but we thought it could have been improved by having the focus more on the bride and less on the center of the gown. It was a close call and when we saw such two strong images then we moved to a compositional nit pick to determine the winner.
