This one was taken in the evening light when we were returning from a boat trip. Processed with Urban Acid action, cloned a few spots, burning the background, Adamus sharpening.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: I like unconventional portraits and this one fits the bill. Lovely lighting, both directionally and quality-wise. The 'pose', if we can call it that (it looks too candid) contributes immensely to the mood of the image. Most of all though, I like the coloration - the red and green hues are wonderful and rich.
Critical stuff: Not much - perhaps the image could take a tighter crop.
Not an image that really appealed to me. I assume you were going for a specific mood here with this pose but it looks awkward/odd to me rather than interesting. The white cushion on the left is the brightest object in the picture and my eye was drawn to it.
