Good lighting. I like the hand placements, the negative space, the B&W toning. Well done.

Connection

Lovely. The bare skin, the girl's arms wrapped around her man, the look in her eyes, all of these show an intimate connection. His expression, looking down, works well as it connotes a certain expectation.

Lovely colors. The light is a little hot on the girl's forearm, but forgivable. Well done.

Coming back for a 2nd look. This is my favorite for the challenge. Bumping to a 10.

I dunno... to me, the "grundge look" just doesn't work on what should be the softness of feminine features. I mean ... seeing her hand so dark reminds me more of mechanic's hands (the kind that are so greasy they can never truly come clean). I would much rather see her pores softened and skin lightened.

A lovely image, to be sure ... I mean, I love the lighting, and the girl and her pose are perfect. But the image doesn't seem to imply intimacy (closeness between two people) nor does the title.

The image doesn't really imply intimacy to me. But your title at least hints that intimacy may soon be coming. I *do* like the lighting, the colors and composition.

Lovely B&W toning. I love the look in the girl's eye as she is obviously telling a secret. And the smile on the other girl's face implies that she is hanging on every word. I like this image. Well done.

the intimacy of forgiven

I'm probably dense. I don't get the title... or the image.

The meaning of Intimacy varies from relationship to relationship, and within a given relationship. Intimacy has more to do with shared moments... everyone in that image appears separate from one another (no intimacy is shown or implied).

Anyway, it's just not working for me... Not trying to put it down, just trying to explain how I react to it.

Pretty flower. Lovely colors. Not quite sure it fits the theme of intimacy.

Meant for each other

I love the shared kiss, the flowing dress, the B&W toning. I kinda wish his right hand was somehow more involved to add a greater sense of intimacy to the moment.

Not sure about cutting her belly off (especially since the one finger hints that more should be there). But the B&W toning is great and I love the look of intimacy shared between them.
