10th place in Details (Found)
The WPJA contest judges presented Glen Stubbe, a Minnesota, United States wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.
The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

Judges
- This image offered one of the strongest story-telling moments of the detail shot category entries. Though it captures a fun moment, I wish the quality of light and composition was more dynamic. I find the dirty feet need to dominate the frame more. Maybe a tighter and more upward angle would have helped. As it is, I find a crop slightly from both sides and from the bottom helps isolate the feet from the background.
