The challenge was "touch" and buddy you nailed it. This pic was not as much kinky as funny to me. I grinned from ear to ear when I saw it. You feel the touch looking at the pic, lol. The lighting is very effective. The facial expression is priceless. The horizontal image behind you is a little distracting. Overall great pic!
I like the kinky concept, although the focus of the image is on your subject's face (reaction)
rather than the action (touch-pinch)
If you used a different angle rather than the straight on you could have focused the viewer more on the pinched nipples, in the background the facial expression would have verified the painful touch.
In addition the woman's hands are too relaxed looking to substantiate a painful reaction.
I gave a higher score based on concept vs. composition
This is a really interesting image to find on this site... I'll be very interested to se how it does! And even more interested to see if it's a guy or girl who submitted it. :-).
The horizontan line in the background is a little distracting, and I think I would have liked to see the chaps elbows, but your lighting is good, and the focus is fine. 7
