    Ahh! That would be awesome.

    Seriously though...that is a CUTE dress! rolleyes1.gif

    But seriously, that is one hilarious blog. LOVE the satire.

    Names have been barely changed to protect the innocent, I see!

    I even entered, and I never enter anything...well, almost never.

    I have one question about how the entries are judged. Do the judges look at the entry as it appears on the gallery page, or do they enlarge them as like when you pull out the flyout on the righthand side, in order to get a better view? Just wondering.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.

    Good boy! clap.gif

    I don't believe there are any rules or guidelines for judging. The winner of the last round (Urbanaries) gets to pick their top three and that is pretty much it.

    I haven't entered a challenge for a long time since I never have time to get a picture during the "enrollment" period. Since the rules here state that the picture could have been from any time...Well..I entered two of them. :)

    Yayayayaya! Lynne *just* sent me the list of winning images wings.gif

    Here they are:

    #1: Matt Saville

    #2: HeatherFeather
    http://dgrinextras.smugmug.com/Weddi...68980189_NbGFu

    #3: c99si
    http://dgrinextras.smugmug.com/Weddi...456_C7yRA-A-LB


    This was INCREDIBLY difficult as there were so many very creative takes on the "traditional" bridal photo.

    A word about my winning selection from Matt Saville:
    Bridal portraits are rarely so emotive. The regal pose contrasts with the ordinary textures and objects of the room. Love the details like the back-lit tassels and spinning fan. What a tricky shot to compose! Beautiful.

    ---

    So Matt! It's up to you to choose the next theme!!!

    Thanks to everybody for playing!! iloveyou.gifclap.gif

    Thank you all, again!

    I'm tempted to do the exact opposite- GROOMS! But, I dunno, maybe nobody would enter?

    Oohh, but what about GroomsMEN!? I've seen some pretty creative shots here! Someone's shot with baseball bats comes to mind. Not to piggyback on your piggyback, but hey. :D

    I think instead of full-length, it would have to be half- since they're mostly not dressed by the time I get there. How about "the best underwear shot"?? rolleyes1.gifKiiiiiding! I am pretty sure we all have at least ONE nice shot of the man of the day, right?? :D

    Urbanaries: I think this is one of the most memorable photos that you have ever done. I tell my couples about it all the time, especially when their colors are pink! iloveyou.gifrofl Payback for making them wear pink!
