5. Ralph D. Jones - (9/27/2008 12:40:01 PM) Defenders of the Constitution are always a favorite when photographed correctly. A+
4. Holly Steen (WPD Member & Contestant) - (9/19/2008 6:08:50 PM) It feels like a crowded room, but the couple looks like they are in a quite private place. You captured it. And as a viewer I feel quite short and have to stand on my tip toes to see around the foreground.
3. Elizabeth - (8/11/2008 6:48:18 PM) Like how the foregrund subjects doesn't draw attention away from the focus of the couple.
2. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 7:13:25 PM) This is a very beautiful and intimate photograph between the bride & groom. I love the way you framed it and the lighting and the use of black and white is done wonderfully. Excellent job on this!
1. Anonymous - (7/28/2008 12:05:30 PM) Again another photo that seems out of place in this contest. I thought this was for "creative" photos. This is pretty standard shot of the first dance with onlookers.
