			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Winter Wedcomp Results were just announced, and I was lucky enough to have 6 images place this round!  I didn&#8217;t win the grand prize this time, but I guess you can&#8217;t win them all! <img src='http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Wedcomp had some crazy talented judges this time around, and I&#8217;m very proud that they chose my work in each category.  </p>
<p><img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/judges.jpg" alt="judges" title="judges" width="750" height="188" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1482" /></p>
<p>Here are the images that made it in, and a fun statistic:  6% of all of the placing images in the Wedcomp competition were mine. <img src='http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Judge&#8217;s Comments:</p>
<p>What a creative way to tell a story about guys getting ready (or not getting ready!) The bright yellow socks and the row of recliners are communicative and funny. The flips flops and pile of stuff on the floor are typical of the groomsmen&#8217;s rooms! Often, guys get to hang out while the bride and bridesmaids are scrambling to get ready. This photo says it all.</p>
<p>8th Place Getting Ready:<br />
<img src="http://brunkblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wedcomp_8th.jpg" alt="wedcomp_8th" title="wedcomp_8th" width="517" height="750" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1476" /></p>
<p>Judge&#8217;s Comments:</p>
<p>I love when there is context to an image. Stepping outside of a situation and encapsulating the moment within the context it&#8217;s taking place is a wonderful thing. This image does this beautifully. If, perhaps, the maker could have waited a bit longer, perhaps a stronger moment could have been captured. Still, it has a terrific feel to it. Very Jeff Ascough like. </p>
<p>9th Place Ceremony:<br />
