I love shots like this-- As far as I know, its anybody's guess as to what is actually happening in the photograph. Very cool.. I look forward to finding out what this is about. I'm afraid you'll get knocked because texture obviously takes backseat to the subjects in this photo- I'll give you a 6 anyway. I would rather encourage more shots like this to tell you the truth :-p Kudos
This is an outstanding photo and I'm going to give it a 10 for sure. I do have a suggestion for what I think might be interesting to do with it outside of the challenge when you are allowed to selectively edit. I would select just the people and make the one in the foreground lighter and the one in the background darker, or play around with such ideas. I think it would be an interesting contrast and juxtaposition.
Rather a good photograph. Semi-naked man's arm appearing from black woman's head is odd seeming, but in a slightly surreal image like this it doesn't offend me. Oh to dodge and burn a touch though - compositionally, that near-silhouette pulls the eye so strongly, and she (he?), being not quite silhouetted my eye is searching for detail there that is difficult to see - kind of unsettling, but not in a good sense. Like it though - softness of toning on the walls through the door add a great sense of marble, and rich stone-work, and then that oddly posed figure to add some more disruption. Almost great.

+ Wow I like this photo; it is somewhat strange in a special kind of way (do I make any sense?). Excellent use of light and darkness. The expressions of your subject are almost unreal combined with all the other elements in the photo.
- The connection with the challenge is thin; at least thinner than most other photos I have seen so far which may or may not be a good thing :).
This is a photo I normally would not comment on, but I'm trying to comment more. I wouldn't normally comment because I just don't quite "get" the texture here. I mean, any photo will have some texture, but this doesn't really emphasize that to me. I'm not sure what's going on in the photo - a performance of some kind? Looks like the next person waiting in the wings?
Nice scenery and good textures shown. Black and white fitts there in many ways
