Hey guys!

There will be 2 more challenges this year (I am not sure if they will be continued next year), so you guys have 2 more chances to win!! :D Cat sent me the new theme last night, so let's see what you got.
Note from Cat:
Wedding dress only, no people allowed, just the dress. Shoes and other accessories are allowed to be in the photo, just no people. Can be color, black and white, sepia, whatever. Let's see your best artistic and nicely framed shots of wedding dresses you have to show off

I suppose I could maybe accept a person being in the photo as long as they're clearly not the subject of the photo, and they're not getting in the dress or anything.
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE GALLERY

or go to: www.smugmug.com

login: DgrinExtras
password: knockknock

Then go to: Wedding Challenge • 11/2011 • Wedding Dress

From there you should be able to upload a pic, but let me know if you have any questions (see top right corner / UPLOAD > TO THIS GALLERY)
When you upload a photo, please mention YOUR NAME below the photo, or your nickname (I need to be able to contact you, if you win, so don't make it too hard, haha). Please do NOT upload full res files as I can't take any responsibilities for it and don't want the photo to end up in the wrong hands. Feel free to put your name on the photo.

Once we announce the winner, the top 3 pics will receive a 1st / 2nd / 3rd place badge :D

The CUT-OFF date is November 30th Cat (Shima) will then have time to choose the 3 winners and will announce them by December 2nd :barb


Let me (or Cat) know if you have any questions.

:lust

Shhhhhht, there are 2 entries allowed per person.
Let's gooooooo!!! :lynnma

    Ok and the winners are.....

    1st Place - ShepsMom (Image #10 in the gallery)
    I just love the angle and uniqueness of this shot. Your processing is really great at making the dress just stand out as well.

    2nd Place - aaronbrown (Image #8 in the gallery)
    This is like the ultimate "classic dress shot" in my book. The lighting is epic, the setting / location is what you'd expect of a typical home, and the black and white adds a great drama to it.

    3rd Place - Jeff Milo (image #15 in the gallery)
    I really love the dramatic background and unique setting for this one... I might have given it a higher rating if only the front of dress had some fill flash on it, but other than that I really loved this shot as well.

    If anyone else wants feedback on their shots I can provide that too, but overall TONS of great dress shot entries this month, thanks for making it a fun one to judge!
