JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Humorous,
eye catching and well composed.
This is an attractive shot but probably would have done
better in the category of a portrait of the bride and
groom.
Funny,
lighthearted moment. Nice expression on bride’s face.

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
This
is a fun moment and the photographer did a pretty good
job of getting enough of the ambient light at night to
show the guests with all the sparklers.

Beautiful
moment between bride and the child. Wish it had been shot
tighter.

PLACE - Eric Cable / Oregon
|
Photo © 2004 by Eric Cable
|
JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Another good dancing shot with nice side lighting. There
were a few more distracting elements in this shot than
[first place image] and it bothered me that their feet
and arms were cut off.
