Nice colors, good focus and sharpness. The main problem here is the lighting. The subjects are shadowed and underexposed. It's a good photo, but some additional light (from a fill flash or maybe a reflector) could've made it a lot better.

One of the better entries in this challenge, especially in a technical sense. Good lighting & focus, appropriate DOF, black background helps to emphasize the bright colors in the subject(s). If I have to critique something here, it'd be that it doesn't have much of a "wow" factor, and the black thing(s) behind or between them seems out of place and a little distracting. Otherwise it's a good image.

The lighting on the hand seems a little harsh, but this definitely is one of the better entries in this challenge. Perfect amount of background blur! Enough that their faces don't distract too much from the main subject, but not so much that you can't see them well enough. Well done.

Great focus and sharpness. Good lighting. The background seems a bit too distracting and unnatural, although it's nice that the colors match their shirts. I think a larger aperture / shallower DOF would've helped a lot here, to soften the background without taking away the good colors.

Great colors and mood. Might've preferred if it was a little less saturated, but overall it's very nice

Very nice! I love the black & white and minimalism. Composition seems a little off but not bad.
