Interesting series. I think I like this one best. He's kind of smirking with that "hmmmmmm, yeah" expression whereas she's looking out the window. I prefer him not smiling. I like the perspective in this one. It has an almost high key effect, but not quite, which is striking.

This is very nice. Her shirt imbellishment might be a tad distracting, but the fashion sense of the finished product is lovely. Great crop and lighting.

Really sexy. I love the combination of the tattoed man with the woman in black. Looks just like a rock album cover. Excellent.

Well, this is your first entry so I̢۪m giving you a few tips you might not know until you̢۪ve been here a while.
-Go for the biggest size possible. 640 is the max allowable and some will vote down for a simple thing like a small image.
-When you resize smaller you lose detail. You should always run an USM or Unsharp Mask (or equivalent if not using Photoshop) to bring back that definition. This image looks like it could have especially used it. Nothing seems out of focus, it̢۪s just not as sharp as I̢۪d like to see.

On to the image!

Compositionally, I personally like the angle but am not sure about cutting off the front of the car. Seeing that this is advanced editing I might have even cloned out the crack in the cement but that honestly would have changed the photo. My eye is more drawn to the car with it there.

Color and Lighting- While there are some blown out highlights the USM would have dampened it with the door handle becoming sharper. The sky seems very bleak to me and I would suggest you add some blue to it. You can do this under selective color by adding black or decreasing magenta in the blue and cyan channels. This is legal under basic and advanced editing.

It̢۪s a great image for the challenge and I think you did incredibly well for your first entry. I can̢۪t wait to see what you̢۪ve got coming & good luck in future challenges!
