(No I'm NOT kidding.)

First of all, in case anyone reads this posthumously and doesn't think it's post humorous, I AM the male model in this shot and that's my gf. :)

Ok, let me take a stab at this.
The colors are awesome. I was struck by this the moment we saw this fountain and I wanted my picture taken in front of this. The background is a great silhouette.
Problems:
1) My hair is sticking up - very noticable in a silhouette. Should've taken the time to wet it and pat it down with the fountain water.
2) The silhouette doesn't feel dark enough. I know you played with this based on the outtakes you sent me later, but I think the darker, artzier ones looked better. The less detail I could see, the more I liked the shot.
3) Our pose doesn't look "romantic" enough for Bob. Well, I would have rather had her in my lap too. :)
Overall, I said it before and I'll say it again. This is THE single best shot of us that exists. It is one of the few "art" shots of us that exists. I am UNBELIEVABLY happy with this shot - you did amazingly well with it.
Ooops... didn't realise the models would be reading this!
I think it could have looked better if you two were holding hands or a little closer, it's the way that your torsos are turned away from each other a little that spoils it for me.
Anyway, my best to the both of you!
Nice idea, unfortunately I don't think they look very romantic. Not one of the more passionate kisses I've ever seen... The water in the background works well, but I think the building detracts from the composition. I don't like the yellow colour cast, I'd have amended this in Photoshop. Almost! 6
This idea works really well, with the dramatic lighting behind the couple who are almost silhouetted against it but just contain a little detail for added interest. Very good!
Nice idea, but perhaps could've done with being more in focus and fitting in more of the fountain, both horizontally and vertically. Silhouette works like a dream here. I think this is definately more of an emotion than a photographical masterpiece - that's a complement btw! 7.
This is a cool silhouette shot and captures the theme of the challenge nicely. The two lights behind the fountain are a little distracting though and, although your subjects are centered, the fountain is not. I think in this case, centered would look better.
Wow, such wonderful models! Such beautiful lighting. Such romance, such love....anyways, beautiful gorgeous picture. I want this framed, on my desk. It's absolutely the best pic of us together that exists. Thank you for TAKING it. - 15.
