JUDGES COMMENTS: This is a great storytelling image. The body language of the woman on the left is great, and also being able to see the other women’s expressions in the mirror bumped it up. Very well put together.

Every wedding has it’s tense moments and we don’t know if this woman is praying or just gripping her hands with worry. Maybe she’s just trying to find a quiet moment. But it shows a sense of interior life that I found unusual in this group of photos.
