probably among the best shots of statues and such in this challenge. i've left comments saying that i'm not a big fan of images of other artwork on them, and i feel that here too. however, your lighting is just about perfect for this type of image. i can imagine if this were real people this image would be amazing. your stark white border is kind of hurting my eyes, though. tone that down a bit. 8.
The lighting here certainly makes these lovers look mysterious! Good subject. I'm not sure the source of the light is from the best direction; somehow it looks awkward...
Nice idea - good subject. The light moulds the shapes nicely. The brights are just a bit bright however, and it is a bit disconcerting that we cannot see his other arm or the rest of hers. A deeper DOF woldbring the near hand into focus.
The harsh lighting on here makes this seem less loving and more aggressive. Too much glare, to my taste there is too much contrast in this shot, and not enough exploration of the subtleties of the darker shades. 4
