1st Place: Jason Hudson from Arkansas, United StatesJudges Comments
Liked the different perspective - photographer was good to get on the floor and get this angle. Good use of selective focus, lighting and composition.

No explanation needed here. You can tell what they are thinking and there is good lighting to boot. A sweet moment of eye contact and silence

3rd Place: Sara Sun from Massachusetts, United StatesJudges Comments
Like the insider's perspective from inside the limo. Nice natural lighting and expressions from the women.

4th Place: Cameron Gillie from Wisconsin, United StatesJudges Comments
Expected bride and groom kiss, but in a completely surprising environment. It seems like the photographer was a great 'fly on the wall' because nobody else was looking. Unusual location, nice moment.

5th Place: Evrim Icoz from Oregon, United StatesJudges Comments
Nice moment & reaction. Unusual place for a wedding. I hope that lady in the corner is ok. Smart eye for shooting wide and waiting for the woman's hand to reveal so much emotion.

6th Place: Eric Francis from Nebraska, United StatesJudges Comments
Loved the expressions- captured a wonderful moment. Photo is so interesting, that the eye keeps going back and forth between the guests and the bride.

Great off-beat moment with each face adding to the photo. Looks like a Diane Arbus special.

The expression on the bride makes this photo. The color and lighting distracts a little, but the moment carries it through. Liked the expression on the bride's face. captured a funny little moment in a normally serious situation.
