Clear to see how this entry by @aaronstorry made it into the finals in the Dance Floor Category of the 2018 Awards. ⁠A beautifully frozen moment in time for this couple to remember their day by - for the rest of their lives and the generations that follow. It encompasses so many of the values that judges look for in an Award entry - technique, emotion, the defining moment of a scene, tonal range, creativity..⁠
Congratulations Aaron and we look forward to seeing what everyone has in store for the 2021 Awards when they open for entries in a few weeks time!⁠
⁠
Remember also that your images DO NOT have to have been taken in the past 12 months, you can revisit your archives to find images from any time in the past.⁠
