I would like to spend hours explaining all the intricacies on this photo because I think it is beautiful raw emotion but in truth I don't think it needs any explaining.

I can only assume that the blurring was intentional but IMO it does not add anything to the photo. Maybe it would have been better if the couple were blurred and the background was not.
Are you suggesting affection is a sin? Maybe I don't get it, unless it is really lust. The blurriness of the picture is probably on purpose, but that and harsh light and shadows in the corner make it a bit unappealling.
initial reaction -- don't like the title ... i'm assuming you are going for 'lust', to me, affection is something different. but then, this is a photo challenge, not a title challenge, so that doesn't change my vote. challenge -- met technical -- i'm positive you blurred this one deliberately, but it doesn't work so well for me. composition -- there's something in the corner that looks as if it is sticking out of the guy's head. i'd love to be able to see a little more of the faces, too. the curtains go well with the overall colors of the photo, good choice. overall -- 3 from gr8photos
