This image has a good energy with good moments and nice lighting. The slight tilt helps this photo feel alive. Nice movement and emotions. The bride's face made the picture.

3rd Place: David Murray from Georgia, United StatesJudges Comments
Great use of perspective to lead eye down to jumping groom. Truly unique moment. A wonderful and unexpected moment. Cleanly composed, easy to read, and the line of the ground through the water really enhances the foreground-background relationship.

4th Place: David De Dios from Arizona, United StatesJudges Comments
Simple- nice body language. Photographer made a smart choice by working a low angle to clean up the background. The subject's head tilt, bouquet extention and dress grab really come together for some sweet emotion.

This is a very elegant, but yet simple photo that is well lit and has just a wonderful feel. The single tear as well as the bride's facial expression just gives it a timeless feel. A very quiet moment photographed sensitively and cleanly composed.
