JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Side
light and beautiful lines created by the windows and
pews makes this a wonderfully composed portrait. The
lights along the wall combined with the window lighting
make for a softness and quiet that speaks volumes.

Beautiful
rim lighting. Seems like a normal situation that the photographer

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
A
near spotlight-like effect produced from behind leaves
the bride aglow as she looks toward the man that has walked
her through her life and is about to give her away. The
composition provides us access to a wonderfully private
moment.

NINTH
PLACE - Christopher Record / North Carolina

The
rare color photo that really works in this category. The
composition and strong contrast of the shadows make for
a pleasing image.

The
soft side light highlights the look of approval as the
