JUDGES COMMENTS: Nice way to photograph the couple’s sendoff. Created a whimsical scene. Might try a rim light on well-wishers (just a thought, but sometimes a guest is willing to hold a sidelight on a moment’s notice. However I realize how difficult these scenes are to capture to begin with).

The photographer was very thoughtful here to put the strobe in the car interior. It certainly helps to bring focus and detail to the happy couple. A second strobe outside and a slower shutter speed would have made this image better. Compositionally, it is quite well done.
