2007 BRIDES Magazine Judges

Judges

  • An extraordinarily powerful moment between father (presumably) and son. The touching heads, the pained expressions, the tear welling in the groom's eye ... it's almost uncomfortable, yet compelling, to see this emotion on what should be a day of joy. This could be the melancholy sharing of memories, or possibly shared hurt that a loved one couldn't be there with them ... whatever the cause, the resulting photograph is raw and moving. One of those powerful memories that mean so much among loved ones. Perfect use of lens and composition. The photographer has captured a very personal and sweet moment. The composition highlights the similarities of their features.
