I think this is really nice Griz! I love the tight crop and the angled composition. I missed this when the voting was going on in the challenge, but I would have rated it very high.

Maybe they have a point tho about her not looking into the camera. I think maybe towards him, only looking down, may have been just the thing that pushed this over to a kick-butt score!

You're doing great tho!

I like this, but having her look at the camera doesn't make it quite as tender as could be, IMO.

Nice capture - Just lacking a real black which makes it look a little flat

I think this would have worked much better if she were paying attention to him instead of the camera.

The lighting is great and she has beautiful eyes, but she almost has the deer in the headlights expression. I'd like to see her gazing at him, or maybe looking slightly down, in repose. They don't have any connection, except for touching foreheads, if that makes sense.
