          • I know this gets done regularly now, but I thought this was a strong example of the underwater portrait. The lighting and technical execution were very strong. I liked the angle that the photographer chose as well.
          • The apt description for this image would be heavenly...angelic...immortal. It seems transcendent, as if another moment is about to be revealed. So in spite of its “capture” within the camera, this photo refuses to remain captive...it constantly changes.

          • Great angle and anticipation, with a touch of sexy. Usually putting on the dress is from the top; this was such a new and exciting angle, and the women framing the bride made this perfection.
