Man, this is such a cliche but it gets me every time. As with spoken cliches, the effect shouldn't be negated because of the familiarity. I like this photo.

Neat and kind of psychadelic looking. I wish you would have cropped out the blue 'blotch' in the bottom right (or perhaps burned it out). Neat lighting, though.

In the Eyes of Each Other

They look like a cute couple in a cute setting, but it seems a bit voyeuristic from behind...would have been nice to see their faces. Also, the moment seems just a tiny bit stale, perhaps waiting a few more minutes would have captured you some better frames?

Neat idea

I can't really see the beauty as much as I'd like to...she has a well toned body but the face is where the beauty is (specifically the eyes, which I just can't quite see). It's a neat idea, with the light pouring in from behind the curtain but it looks a bit too posed and unnatural for me.

This doesn't work for me...the incredibly pampered look of this individual (eyebrows, makeup, supersmooth skin) clashes with the context in which she's presented...

She's got such nice eyes, I would have just taken a photo of her face, as is...

Compositionally, I like the photo and it looks well toned. I find the background a bit distracting as well as the red light on her left shoulder...I bet you got some great photos out of this shoot, though!

Wow, I haven't seen this one yet....great work. This would be beautiful in a huge print!

Whoever came up with the lameass idea of looking at 640px wide photos on a computer screen?

You did really well. I'm glad a photo like this won, it actually contains emotion instead of just being a nice graphic. Good work!

Sweet...finally, a photo that I give a 10 to (which pretty much indicates it's my favourite) gets the blue ribbon!

Congrats on a great entry!
