i could really care less how this does because the intention for this photo is to make the couple happy, and they are happy, so I'm happy.
But I think its a funny interpretation of the challenge and would be nice for it to do well!

While the intention of the photo was to make the couple happy, once you entered it here the game changed, yes? I have to wonder what point there is in entering a scoring contest if you don't care about the score? Perhaps you were being overly dramatic ;).
I think the girlpower theme was an amusing take on the challenge topic and the pose does a good job of capturing that spirit. Perhaps a crop that gave the girls all the real estate and didn't make them share half the frame with the sky would give their poses and facial expressions even more impact.
Your work is amazing! To think that you are only 17 and taking photos that would be a proud addition to any photographer, no matter their age, is something I want you to keep in mind.... there is no stopping you now!
I say all this only after checking out your portfolio btw.
this is simply hilarious. a little birdie told me that this would be on the podium next week :) 10
ps: i personally would have used a bit less negative space on the top though.
