Transportation
Judges' Comments
The strong graphic lines of the tiny automobile and cropping choice lead the viewer directly into the befuddled bride's expression. Great shot!

Touch
Judges' Comments
This powerful moment of brotherly love and touch is offset by the the nonchalance of other attendees. This acts as a compositional and informative balance to further highlight this intense embrace. And the hands convey so much feeling.

Getting Ready
Judges' Comments
Touching, powerful moment displayed wonderfully with a slightly higher than usual vantage point really captures the entire family's emotions too.
Powerful emotion, light and great drama.
I first see the eyes of the woman who embraces the bride, her hands pressed lovingly against her back, both wrapped in a veil that flows from curly locks of golden hair would be enough to create a strong image. But it’s the light and composition, the proper lens choice and angle, and the way the people who surround them - mostly in contrasting dark clothes, that help make this moment magical.

Kids (Being Kids)
Judges' Comments
The juxtaposition of curious children, who use the bus window to playfully mash and pucker their face against the glass is a marked difference to the relative indifference of the adults at right all of whom appear to find something on the other side of the bus more attractive.

Just funny. I wish there was a little more room at the top and a little less at the bottom. The humor carries.

Off-Moments (Bloopers and Outtakes)

This looks like a strange tradition gone awry. Poor guy and great timing on the photographer's part.

Good timing and good energy. I just liked the moment created with the plane.
