2nd place in Transportation
The WPJA contest judges presented Justyna Ortyl, a Podkarpackie, Poland 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.

- Easy read, nice body language and the dog running beside adds a lot to it. It's a simple, but effective image.
- This was a great moment with the dog following down the open road. A tilted horizon adds interest to the photograph.
- This is another of the Cartier-Bresson-like images that capture a private moment in a beautiful country setting. The little tilt of the photo gives it a sense of motion and the dog adds a priceless detail.
