I don't know what to say mate, I thought it was a great shot and it was done well and it was funny. I am glad to see it did eek out a 5.2 for you though. Keep up the good work.
I've been eying that tripod in the magazines for some time (let alone an L-series macro zoom lens) I love the way you interpreted the challenge and you really pulled it off well. The steamy background plays really well into the mood. The shadows on the Canon lens, however, are a bit of a distraction. Going back, I changed my mind about the shadows. They actually play well into the image. It gives a sense of hidden romance.
One of my top three picks of the challenge. Meets the challenge well and demonstrates imagination along creativity. Technically a well captured photograph.
excellent, well done. you have taken two still life objects but you have made the whole thing make sense. This is one of my top 10 votes. It goes to show you that you don't have to have massive amounts of skin showing to implie intamacy. Very well done!
