The judges are extremely accomplished photojournalists whose work I have admired over the years. I am honored to have them look at and consider my work as one of the best in the world.
The image below won first place in its category. The photograph is of Donna Ford and her assistant with Sweet Memories delivering a cake. The other two images placed in the top 20 in their respective categories.
JUDGES COMMENTS: A very nice silhouette balanced perfectly. It is a very hard subject to get a nice picture of and you could tell the photographer worked very hard on this.
JUDGES COMMENTS: Wonderful composition. B&W works well with the graphic elements. Nice job.
JUDGES COMMENTS: One of the great aspects of telling the full story of the wedding day with a journalistic approach is being there to show things that the wedding couple would not be able to see. Let's face it, setting up tables is dull. The photographer edits all of those dull hours with his or her eyes and offers the peak moments. This is one of those moments worth seeing.
JUDGES COMMENTS: Nice job of capturing the moment just before the cake is placed on the table. The framing is well-done and the backlight highlights the forms beautifully.
JUDGES COMMENTS: Interesting use of the reflection to represent the crowded reception while at the same time emphasizing the quiet escape of the three men at the table. Did they retire to that table to escape the noise, or better to observe what was going on? The question is posed by the picture but not answered.
