Comet Me, Bro
Wonderful use of graphics and photography, as well as the humor and puns. The photo of the sandwich, showing the bun's texture, is impressive.

Pugnacity Fails to Achieve Anything
Excellent coverage of local issues. Straight to the point and just enough information to keep people informed without adding too much to lose your interest.

Pitching Multi-exposure
Nice to see something different on a regular static shot. Good of you for trying to a new angle to something shot so often.

This shows that less is more - three strong photos that together tell a story. Not one pixel of wasted space. Good Job!

Hi, Ken!
Love the humor and puns used throughout the newsletter. The art collages grab the reader's eye, and the photos, in general, are great. As one example, the picture that makes the guitar the focal point provides an unexpected but intriguing perspective. The Barbie theme is well done.

Truly a unique shot, showing the extra effort in planning and composition. Too many shooters would have stopped with the simple portrait. Good job.

EXCELLENT! Such amazing photography, not only in articles, but in ads also. What separates this from other bride guides is the individual couples stories. Well done!

Nosy Neighbor
There is so much emotion in this photo - the look on the girl’s face as she looks at her brother with a butterfly on his nose… this is a great moment in time.
