Challenge definitely met. I like the obvious tenderness displayed by this photo. She's leaning a little against the hand and has her eye closed, the hand seems to touch her just lightly, again, tenderness. Very nice. I think the ribbon in her hair is a touch distracting. Technically, I'd like to see some softer lighting and just a tad sharper focus, especially on the hand. Emotionally a great photo, technically not bad, but areas for improvement.
The focus on the eye is good, but the lips and fingers are too blurry. I think this would work better in black and white perhaps, to give it even more drama.
There is so much emotion expressed in this photo - in the facial expression and in the touch. Great job of capturing that. Cuddos to the models also. Love the soft focus - it's plays a big part in the expressiveness. A very sharp focus would have killed the emotion. Amount of light is perfect. Nice background. Great job - a 10 all the way.
Great composition and the focus is OK. Perhaps a little hard light from right. A white paper or something at left would make the shadows in the face a little softer. Overall a photo that I like very much.
I was just trying to explain to someone how much a touch can mean and then I saw this....its simply beautiful....only thing I have seen that deservess a 10
