JUDGES COMMENTS: Tender. Nice moment. Very clean, powerful. Love the combination of the long lens and light.

I don't know the backstory for this photo, but I think hands and eyes are the windows to the soul. This soulful photo has a very graceful, delicate composition that makes it very strong.

The photographer captured a special moment between a woman and the bride. The hand touching the veil leads you right into the bride’s eyes. It’s a very touching moment.
