    • I love the immediacy and intimacy of the image.
    • A classic departure moment with the car and the kiss on the dirt road heading off to their new life. All it's lacking is the sunset.

        • The moment of celebration and joy is what makes this so great; I feel like a participant in this event. To convey a feeling with an image is the mark of great photography.
        • This photo had a great lyrical quality to it – I love the implied motion and the frame is filled well.
        • I can't resist writing words that I use too often when texting a friend. In lieu of writing "LOL," I will often write HA!!! That's not an acronym, it's just "HA!!!" And that's how I felt when I first saw this very fun image so adroitly composed at the right moment, so expertly photographed that it became a visceral "HA!!!" It's fun. It's a universal joy that doesn't need a bride and groom, they're just icing on the (wedding) cake.
