This is a wedding photo of two elderly men crying and embracing.
CONTEST:   CATEGORY: BACK | NEXT
 

JUDGES COMMENTS: Three hands, two heads, one gaze right at us. Add the almost tragic body language of the bent-over man, and you get an emotionally loaded picture. This is, like the previous picture, a MADE picture, as opposed to a taken picture. The photographer built the frame around an emotional moment, but the emotional content of the picture relies on more than just an emotional moment. That makes it a much more rich, layered photo with more layered emotion.
