5. Shutter453 - (8/22/2008 8:32:46 AM) The golden theme of the photo is very unique, as I could only imagine the great output this photo produces on print. The bride and groom must be very thrilled.
4. Anna Lee - (7/28/2008 8:59:44 PM) Love the lighting, but looks a little posed. Might have worked better if the couple had more expressive looks on their faces.
3. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 6:21:13 PM) This is a beautiful photograph, and the skies look incredible. The dress could have looked a little less blown out, but otherwise wonderful job on this!
2. Anonymous - (7/28/2008 11:50:18 AM) But it looks like the spotlight is on their feet. I wish the spotlight was moved up a bit to include their faces. I'm drawn down and away from the emotional side of the story.
