Some might have been looking for classic shots, some for emotional moments, some for fun etc. etc... Perhaps throughout the year when I feel I have the time to do this - we'll do themed contests. Best family group shot...Best bride portrait...Best ceremony shot... etc. Thanks again to everyone - these results are so interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari douma Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 WOW! What a variety of responses! Isn't it funny how everyone has different opinions? I was surprised at the wide range of votes. -Although none for me :( Thanks Mary for doing this! This was fun. It would be great to do it again with themed topics like you said! That would be great!

conraderb Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 congrats Marc. Marc always takes home the gold, to the detriment of everyone else. We all need to shape up. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie_caswell Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 All were fantastic and ran the gamut from great emotion to damn funny, and of course astoundingly beautiful. That is the way it should be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylarcombe Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Congratulations Marc, a well deserved winner. I'm gunning for you this year, in fact I think I already have the winner from Saturdays wedding ;-) Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 WOW! Thanks, and a special thank you to Mary for doing this. Hey Stacy, I voted for Lisa also, and it was between you and her. I love Lisa's shot because it reminds me of the early fashion work of Sarah Moon. Being a B&W candid photographer at heart, I loved your shot too ... so full of energy, light and beautiful tones... so it was a really hard decision between you two. Lots and lots of nice stuff here. Conrad, contrary to popular belief, I didn't win last year ... Tim Holt did. Colleen and Tony ... you want a piece of me? BRING IT ON BABY !!! Just kidding ... actually I think I'll retire from competition now : -) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa_berry___northampton_m Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 how cool! I was blown away by colleen's lighting (or the way she caught the lighting) We all know it's hard to make a reception look THAT good. it's quite fun to see what different shooters value in their work.

waldemar_giers___kitchener Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Congratulation Marc, Lisa and Colleen. You guys were hard to beat. Exscellent photography. It was not that easy to pick just one to vote for. Great show every one participating. Big THANX to Mary for this competition. P.S. My personal #1 pick was "New Orleans Wedding" by Jeff Caradona.

ben_rugers Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Well done! I voted for Marc, what an amazing photo. I had actually picked the top three as 'MY' favourite three, all fantastic photos. This was a fun competition and the themed competition idea sounds great too. Look forward to hearing more about it!! Congratulations to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris76 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Well Done to Marc and the runner's up. First prize just for Marc is 28-300 F5.6 lens with lots of barrel distortion ;-) Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
