Absolutely loved this photo. Felt as if it could have been taken during the battle of Britain. The use of the plane was perfect to draw my eyes to the subject. Also loved that it has great bokeh without losing focus on the main subject.

Amazing use of lighting to highlight the bride and groom! This is probably one of my favorite wedding photos I have seen. The framing of not having them centered and offset also adds to the image and makes it that much better. Great job!

Love this! Feels like a documentary photo you may see in National Geographic. Great use of the lighting and contrast to really bring out both subjects from the background. This really does tell the story of a young girl who is getting ready for her day.

Great action shot. Love the use of the highlights to focus on your subjects without making the background too dark where you can still see the audience. Great job on your timing to capture what looks like right after the kick was landed on his opponent.

Love the creativity of this photo. Amusing shot that tells a story of the photographer with the photos in the background. The only thing I think I would change in this image is where his elbow is slightly out of the frame.

Great use of lighting. Everything about this photo draws attention to your subject and makes them the focus of the image. The image tells an interesting story of a man who is in deep thought and has forgotten about the items in his hands.
