JUDGES COMMENTS: Combining subjects with reflections isn't always the easiest thing to do, but with the right light, and the right tones, the combination can be very effective. The bride
in this image helps matters by clenching her fists, and making her ring finger very visible. Her joy is mirrored on the faces of their guests in the window.
Beautiful use of layering. I love seeing the brides clenched fists, the wedding ring, the heart and the family and friends all in one image. It speaks volumes in a sophisticated way.
This is a great way to see the situation and capture the feel of the couple leaving. Symbolism is used well in concert with reflections of family and friends to create an emotional feel.
