Creative means to "create". This image was not created, it was "taken". There is no concept that was implemented here. Sorry!!

3. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 9:28:16 PM) In my opinion, it's so much a creative shot as it is a moment frozen in time. By the looks of the bride and groom, this photo kind of reminds me of a Hollywood paparazzi shot. Seems glamorous and in the end I like it!

If you hover your mouse over the "?" next to the "creative & concept" slider, it says the creative score will weigh more.... So... I guess the photo entries are not required to be "creative", but the creative scoring and weighing will mostly contrigute to the final winners...
