The soft focus and monotone treatment is a plus for this image from an artistic standpoint. The models are positioned perfectly and their reactions unforced and completely natural - it's almost a commercial quality advertising image. The slight crop on the left cutting short the natural curve of the model's elbow is a negative and is immediately noticable. Even with this minor issue, this image is a technical and artistic success. Not quite a top ten image, it certainly could be considered a top twenty and if luck holds, a top fifteen. Well done.
