This photo was made in the old artist's carnival studio. Natural lighting, no tripod, only cropped, minor color adjustments and also sharpened with the ACDsee Pro 2. Yes, it was a cold day. Its my first contribution, so don't hesitate to comment!

You know, I can't help thinking this would have scored higher if the challenge was in Nov/Dec/Jan. It's out of season and honestly speaking I'm sure subconsciously that affects the score. It would have affected my score, had I voted in this one. I like the picture, but I'm not entirely sure it portrays intimacy.
This is a wonderfully weird photo! I love the contrast between the three figures. His bliss contrasted with her bemusement nestled under this bizarrely large sculpture helps send this photo in to the land of surreality! Fascinating.
By his expression, he looks like he may be sharing an intimate moment (even if in an awkward place). She, however, doesn't look at all interested in him ... perhaps either concerned or amused at the face above her, I can't tell.
Suggestions for improvement: Perhaps have her lay her head on his shoulder. She could either look into his eyes or she could even look down at the floor ... as if to simply be comforted to be in his arms.
