2. Holly Steen (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/31/2008 3:01:48 PM) I think that black and white was a nice choice for this shot. It reflects the old heritage of her hands, while still seeing the modern style of the brides' hair. Thank you for such a touching shot.
1. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 10:16:03 PM) A very precious moment between what seems to be a bride and her mother or grandmother. The angle was perfect and the photographer did a wonderful job at anticipating this shot and taking it at just the right time. The use of black and white was nicely done and the lighting is just perfect. Great job on this!
