I didn't vote in this challenge - but just browsed thru. And this one caught my eye. Sensual and beautiful. What a wonderful portrait of the two of you.

A very intimate moment! The necklace is slightly distracting.

I like the contrast, both photographically, and the implied contrast based on apparent ethnicity. I think I would have liked to see a little more of the profile of his face though.

The softening here adds a lovely quality to the shot.
