Also cloned out a small piece of a cane basket that was sitting in the bottom right-hand corner which I could have cropped out but then I would have clipped the left-hand side of the chair.
Have wanted to do a version of Michaelangelo's 'Creation of Adam' for a while and finally got the opportunity thanks to my great models Marcus & Ilyse.
I would like to have titled it "Eve relinquishes control" but then it would have been dnmc:)

Nicely posed, lit, and especially conceived, though the channel changer was lost on me until I read the caption. Maybe more impact if it had been turned to show more to the camera? Anyhow, good job.
The concept is quite good - I wonder about a similar 'classic' pose on the female as is on the male - even with the clothing 'fashion', this still works quite well, but needs some 'extra's, one of which might be a toning or pp of some type to further emulate Michelangelo's style. But your call, of course.
Well set up, with an obvious nod to Michelangelo. Presumably it's a remote control unit she's handing over - perhaps it would have been better to show its button side. ;-)
Composition: 8
Technical: 6 - Suffers a little from lighting & shadow issues - nothing major
Creativity: 10 - I LOVE the concept!
Appeal: 7
Challenge: 7
Overall Score: 9 - (weighted - NOT a calculated average)
I like this setup and clever idea. I think I would want maybe a tighter crop.... or perhaps if this were in an actual living room instead of the studio--I'm not sure... its right there as far as the idea goes, but to take it further into the really high score it just needs something else. 7.
This shot made me laugh, not only from the fantasy title (what man ever really gets control), which certainly meets the challenge, but the great look in the female models face. The Man's hand placement remind me a little of the "god touching man" from Michael Angelo's Sistine Chapel. I haven't looked at others of your shots, but the lady is great. I think it would be your good fortune to get to use her often.
This is a crisp clean shot, well lit and posed. I think it must have been fun for you to create.
This is a good take on the famous Michelangelo painting. He is languishing just like Adam. The only thing I'm not sure about is the twigs. I think you needed something there, but I'm not sure these did the job. IMO of course.
