4. Sam Chinigo (WPD Member & Contestant) - (8/24/2008 12:49:42 PM) Love the concept and creativity, but the composition really bothers me here. The lines just aren't pleasing. My eye keeps wanting to straighten them out. I think you framed it this way in order to get the moving car effect, but it throws the rest of the image off. Nice idea.

2. Holly Steen (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/31/2008 3:36:57 PM) Nice wedding shot in a non-wedding enivornment. I dig the street and the urban feel. It gives the illustration of crisp and clean verses street and graffiti. I think you could do an entire series on just this couple.. and they are interesting to sell it.
