Quite pleased to get a notification today that 500px had added one of my photos to the recent Wedding Season quest they hosted. I can't remember what the prizes were but I think 1st is a cash prize or something?

I submitted a few shots from weddings in recent times and one of them appears to have been selected!

The shortlist isn't huge but there are some great works there too so let's see how things go I guess

Yours is the one with confetti, right? I love the way it captures the joy of the occasion.

That's mine yep! That was actually one of my closest friend's wedding and was her favourite pic from the day as well. Quite chuffed that it's been recognised even today!

I think they should split the shots into two categories: the posed shots and the spontaneous ones like yours.

Didn't win!

The winner was one of the shots I liked from the entries, although as you say, posed & natural should ideally be individual categories maybe.

Shame as yours was stunning, though some great competition.

The flies buzzing around her are distracting.
