Lovely use of color here. With a photo like this, its super important that you keep the subjects spaced out correctly and you accomplished that. Nice work.

Judges Comments:
Its always nice to get an action with a vast sweeping skyline photo. Nice job waiting for the hug, it really completes the frame. I would however make sure you get the peoples names next time! And also ask them why theyre there. You never know what interesting story theyll share.

Nicely framed photo with a lovely moment. I would however watch your corners in the photo. The bottom right side can come up a bit. Also, remember to get names!!
