Terrific angle and composition with the veil. The low angle makes the image work. Automatic winner. Wonderfully creative use of the veil. Beautiful lines contrast, and composition. One of the best pictures of the competition. A strong graphic image with style. Clever use of the veil. Smart low angle accentuating the contrast between the white veil and the dark background.

Elegant. nice use of lighting and use of lines. Wonderful mood created by dark hues, strong angles and film noir light.

A good, clean graphic image that is light and airy. Love the visual echo between the design on the dress and the trees in the background.

Loved her expression and use of rule of thirds. Nice that the photographer backed up and showed more background thanmost of the entries.

Nice window light as well as including the children makes it look like an icon. Liked the emotions - not just a typical portrait.

I love the inclusion of the juke box. The dark background adds to the almost lonely feel to the photo. Very different.
