The Agfa European Portrait & Wedding compeition has finalised and the results are to be seen at www.agfaphoto.com/gallery/eurofaces/index.html

The classic wedding shots are in the minority and the 'candid' takes precedence. The number of 'formal' portraits is surprising, well worth a look.

Regards

Jack.

All of the photos were interesting, although I have to admit, I felt like I was flipping through a Corbis stock book at the same time. Only a few seemed to have that personal, as well as professional, touch: the wide-angle of the couple in the convertible, the military guy and his wife, with the kids peeking through the door next to them, and the really nice shot of the couple running past a fountain. Can't decide if I liked the girl with the Coke can in the picture or not -- detracts from the couple but seems to save it from being a commercial-type picture.
