Had fun shooting this one. Our "other" son (Steven) with a friend of his (Rockie) in our studio. For two non-models, they were sure awesome!! I had a ton of pics to choose from, so I hope I chose wisely.
I really think this fits the challenge to a T.
Lit by 4 AB800's - main giant softbox, fill light, hair light, and bg light.

This really works. I love the fact that she is looking at him and he is not looking at her - this adds complexity to the composition. The only thing that leaves me scratching my head is the weird choice of border - what are you trying to say with that choice?
Lovely. The bare skin, the girl's arms wrapped around her man, the look in her eyes, all of these show an intimate connection. His expression, looking down, works well as it connotes a certain expectation.
Lovely colors. The light is a little hot on the girl's forearm, but forgivable. Well done.
Coming back for a 2nd look. This is my favorite for the challenge. Bumping to a 10.
Nicely done, focus, lighting & composition are excellent. The chopping off of the tops of the heads is a bit of draw back, and the thickness of the border takes away from the image
I didn't think a studio shot would work for this challenge, but this one does, I like it a lot. Lighting a hair blown out on her arm, but that's a minor nitpik. Well done.
Great lighting and expressions. Her expression almost looks like she has a question of what he's thinking which makes it seem like their intimacy may be slightly off at this moment. Still a great shot.
