4. Anna Lee - (8/29/2008 10:06:31 PM) Wow! This shot belongs in a bridal/travel magazine - evokes emotions of romance ... Love the tilt, the location and composition. I personally don't find the building distracting. Great job.
3. Sam Chinigo (WPD Member & Contestant) - (8/24/2008 2:41:36 PM) I really like this image. The tilt and compsition give this image interest. The combination of the treatment and the building give the image depth as well as texture. I would have liked to see the sky have more drama or interest, but overall a wonderful image. Nicely done.
2. Holly Steen (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/31/2008 3:04:54 PM) The tones of the image are perfect. A muted monochrome with a touch of color. I believe that the building in the background is a bit distracting. I am not sure if that is the photographer in me, but I wanted to see where that shot was taken. (Probably so I could go shot there myself). Bravo in capturing the true classic shot, while still being modern.
1. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 10:14:06 PM) This is just a beautiful shot. It seems the photographer may have told the bride & groom to dance, however the way the photo is composed, and the timing of the shot, it just looks like out of a fairytale. VERY beautifully done!
