JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
It’s
only one tear and tight lips on the groom but quiet power,
simple and strong.
The
photographer made a very very strong and emotional image.
The tear-stained checks, the pursed lips, the watery eyes...
the proud stature and the use of B&W with wonderful
tonal qualities.. it's flawless.

THIRD
PLACE - Heather Mabry / Texas
5
Points and $61.50 Cash

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
One
can just feel the joy, the happiness of this couple.
Facial expressions, body language and a well-composed
image with good use of light make this a winner.
Hands
intertwined, smiles, eyes gleaming, a better photograph
conveying the love for each other in such a joyous
moment couldn't be made. What a nice smile!

FIFTH
PLACE - Allegra Gilbert / Virginia

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
The
photographer's image couldn't have spoken the words louder.
The more non-traditional reaction of sheer joy and happiness
framed in the doorway of the white more traditional doorway.

EIGHTH
PLACE (tie) - Christobal Perez / North Carolina

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Once
again, body language and facial expression make me connect
with this couple through a photograph. The ability to
convey real emotion through a two-dimensional image is
a gift.

Whether
it's mom and daughter or friends, the interaction between
these two with the natural light emphasizing hands and
smiles makes it a wonderful treat.
