Very nice, I tried something similar for a few hundred shots then just gave up- but you did it and I think it turned out great. You got my vote for Top 10.
Based on the comfort that these two show with one another I wouldn't doubt that they're romantically involved, but the image seems to convey a feeling of affection rather than overt romance.
I love the clarity in this image; the poses, also, work well. Really, it, to me, is not something beyond what I'd expect to see adorned atop the mantle, but, that doesn't mean that it's not appreciable. Good job.
this photo is very well done not because of the technicality of it, but the feeling it is able to capture. Very nice work. I'm bumping up the score for this.
Nice. I think I'd crop just below the shoulders. The hands show the embrace, but you get the idea of that by their closeness and all of the fingers just detract as far as I'm concerned. I do like thier earnest look of affection. Good luck!! 7
