Welcome to DPC and I hope you enjoyed entering your first challenge. I remember this image very well from voting on this challenge. My initial reaction was that I liked the out of the box thinking on this subject but it is going to get killed by the DNMC (Does not meet challenge) crowd. Sorry to say but the high number of 1's definitely shows that out of the box thinking is not always rewarded. Just think, for every 1 you receive, it takes two 10's to average out to a 7. Hard to win a ribbon with more than one or two 1's on your scorecard.
As for the photo itself, the focus looks a little soft to me. I suspect that you didn't sharpen the image after resizing. Almost all images look a little fuzzy after down sizing and need some USM (Unsharp mask) or other sharpening processes to bring the image back into sharp focus. Good luck on future challenges.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
haha, a different kind of chemistry. Nice B&W shot, more powerful I think than it would have been in color. You must have planned it this way, with their having opposite shirts and bags. Really works well! 9
I like your idea ... it's something different from the usuals, but the elements, surrounding, touches and feel really boil down well with the theme title. How about having the girl rest her head on his shoulder for a more lovey-dovey feel?
