      • Nice repetition and position of the phones. The color balance was not perfect, but I liked the lighting and the mood of the photo.
      • The blue tones from the phones contrast nicely with the room’s incandescent light. I also like the multiple layers created by the phones.
      • This image had me thinking about the different missions of photography. The folks with devices are more interested in a “record shot,” a souvenir from the wedding, whereas, the photojournalist is more interested in social interactions. But I couldn't stop looking at the other photos too. Among the five, left to right #2 and #3 focus solely on the cake and use a common down-the-middle composition while #1, #4 and #5 include the glassware in their frame. Shooter #4 and #5 appear to accidentally include #3ʼs device in their images. So, our secondary winner has to be user #1 even though itʼs cropped a bit too tight. But shooter #0 wins it all with his clever image and great composition that kept me entertained for far too long.

        • This is a nice photograph! The photographer preserved a most important and happy moment for this couple. Normally I am not a fan of tilting the camera or the image, but in this picture it works to give the photograph just a bit more energy. Looks like the photographer was off to the side with a long lens so there was no disturbance to the wedding ceremony. (Recently I attended a wedding in Cape Town, South Africa where the wedding photographer came right down the aisle and stood in front of the couple for the kiss photograph. Everyone in the church was dressed perfectly, men wearing suits, etc. The wedding photographer was wearing shorts and a red polo shirt. He had a fixed 85 and the 70-200 zoom. Later, I had to lend him my 28-70mm lens. He had no wide angle and was attempting to make the family photo (about thirty people) and his back was to the wall. --THAT'S HOW NOT TO COVER A WEDDING.)

        • This is such a fun image in the way everything has worked together visually to provide the viewer with a strong moment that is seen within the scene. While attendees hold their cellphones aloft to capture the view, the photographer, adeptly manages to keep out of view in the window that reflects the departing bride and groom. It's sort of a fun moment within a delightful moment. I loved it.
