A cute idea and a nice composition. If you'll excuse me for being too picky, I not to wild about the shadows. It would have worked better if you lite from the top right so that the shadow would look like it was cast from the fake sun.

A bit too much contrast for my tastes.

Intimacy

I think dropping the exposure by a few stops could have worked better by darkening the silhouettes and reducing the overexposure behind the woman's lower back.

I really like the way you focused on the nervous grip of the hand and left the 'action' outside the field of focus.

The composition of this photo is really well done. My only problem is with the guy's hand in his pocket. It looks unnatural to me.

I love you Mommy

Perhaps a bit to artsy for some here, but I think you did a wonderful job with this photo. The soft focus and the close crop work very well in portraying the sense of intimacy. My only objection is with the border. It is too bold and wide. It gives a rough edge to an otherwise soft moment.

Hello, Big Boy....

I've been eying that tripod in the magazines for some time (let alone an L-series macro zoom lens) I love the way you interpreted the challenge and you really pulled it off well. The steamy background plays really well into the mood. The shadows on the Canon lens, however, are a bit of a distraction. Going back, I changed my mind about the shadows. They actually play well into the image. It gives a sense of hidden romance.

The message is strong, but the composition doesn't do it justice. The angled frame with the corner behind the man's head and the plant between his legs (hiding the cast?) are very distracting. Perhaps if the couple was centered underneath the picture frame, the position were swapped so that the cast was behind his wife, and the plant was either removed or well off to one side the image would have been stronger.

I finally bought myself a macro lens last week and thought to myself that it would help me much in the intimacy challenge. Well.... you just proved me wrong!!! Bravo. This is hilarious. You pulled it off perfectly.

The white balance in this photo is way off and the graininess is very distracting. I obviously don't know what camera you are using, but check the manual to see if you can adjust the white balance setting. Typically, there is a setting for indoor lighting (sometimes called tungsten or represented by a light bulb symbol). In that setting, you will get much more natural colors.
