I liked this photo quite a bit and if I had been using my current voting methods for this challenge (didn't know I could revise votes for one thing) I probably would have scored it higher than the 6 I gave it.
I caught the opposite right away. The title helps without nailing the viewer over the head (although judging by some of the comments, it seems some people need to be slapped in the face with an idea before they get it).
I like the slight over exposure on the faces. I think it heightens the slight skewing of reality for the viewer. The tilted format achieves this as well. I don't know if you intended this but that's how it works for me.
I like how their black clothes disappear into the background. The models are beautiful.
This is an interesting portrait. The person who seems to be the main subject has an expression on his face which is not immediately discernable without noticing the look from the woman. I like the framing, lighting and the small splashes of color against the deep black background.
Even though I know this is a studio shot, many elements make me want to know what's going on outside of the frame - are they at a wedding, and are they happy or sad. While I realize this was taken in a studio setting, it could easily pass as a candid shot.
For the challenge, I wonder if the photo's score fell short because the opposite isn't readily visible. Are they both in drag? If so, the woman doesn't have enough going on to indicate she's in drag as a man.
Very nice photo - I like the perspective you chose and the saturation of the colors - the similarity with the red of the roses to the reds of the lips is wonderful.
Excellent on many levels, as a portrait, for emotion, and just for shock value. Interesting angle. It's a little overexposed, but that adds to the feel, so I like it.
Good Luck.
Really stunning shot. There is just so much going on in this frame that it looks like you went to a great deal of trouble to set it up. The result is absolutely excellent - great job!
I don't know exactly what opposites you were aiming for. He's such a convincing woman that, without the title, most people would not see it. Very nice portrait.
Nice picture. The light on their faces is very harsh though. A warming filter or more diffuse flash would probably fix that. I like the expressions and poses.
