A very strong image! Like a painting! The eyes and half-opened mouth of the women as-well-as the man's absent expression are simply great. Also the cropping is very well done. However, somehow something is missing technically to make this picture a winner image IMO. But I have to admitt that I don\'t know what. Maybe it\'s just a frame so the image does not get lost on the browser page.
why all the haze? I think it really takes away from the emotion of your shot. Did you also try this in bw? Might really have added to the feel (and scent) of it.
I like how you cropped out his eyes and I like the angle of her head. The look on her face (half closed eyes, partly opened mouth) gives this a very sensual feel. I know the blur was intentional to give this a soft, sexy feeling but I think it's over-blurred, imo. Unless of course you're going for that steamed up shower door look! ;-) Really though, it's a good shot. I gave this an 8.
Wow, good photo of emotional links to scent.
The soft focus works great to create the right mood for the viewer, it makes the scene steamy ~hot~sexy.
I am not sure about the noise, I think it would be to 'sharp' without it, destroying the mood. Good as it is.
You could use this for the soft focus challenge as well. Very good idea, an important smell in everyday life. I like the soft effect, keeps it a bit more distant from the actual person and emphasises more the experience/smell. Her expression is good as well, really taking in the smell.
Love the pose, the expresions, composition, says scent nicely. This comes over as a very sensual phoyo indeed. A little less "soft" might have helped as it looks a little foggy, but overall I love this.
