Swinging Love

Perfect dof here.. lighting seems a bit harsh and the background a bit dull, but I guess you didn't have too much control over that.

Very cute setup! Love the reflection... as others pointed out, a boost in the fruit brightness would be helpful here. I didn't get it at first with the title, but as soon as you 'see it'... you can't miss it.

Ahh, finally... a shot that just SCREAMS love when it pops up on the screen. fantastic lighting, great composition. But I'm sure a few other people have told you that already. This is the kind of shot that gets all the comments! Just beautiful.

Symbol of Love

I expected the flower to be overdone in this challenge, but this one is a bit different than the typical shot, which is nice. I like the color and texture of the empty space at the top, I think it compliments the flower nicely. There seems to be a bit of area on the flower where the light is a bit harsh, making it lose it's color, but otherwise very nicely done.

The Beginning

I think when first looking at this photo, it portrays hope to me more than love... looks like a person praying. But I'm guessing that the hands belong to two different people, and you're portraying the beginning of a romance (hence the title)? If that is the case, perhaps a bit of editing would help to bring out the slightly different skin tones of these two hands, to show that it is indeed two different people.

Larva Lamp in a Cold Climate

I'll admit, I'm a bit confused by this one. I'm not sure how it relates to the challenge, and the title isn't helping much. I don't really see a connection between the plant and the lava lamp, and I don't understand why you called it a larva lamp. Anyway, all that being said, I kinda like this as an abstract shot. It has a neat green glow to it, and I like the little blobs sticking out of the bottom... the one reminds me of a snail. Hope something in all that ramble was helpful :)

To hold is to comfort. To comfort is to love.

Personally, I'm not a fan of photos of monkeys and any of those other critters in the monkey family. But, this one clearly depicts the challenge goal, and has a nice range of tones in it.

Real Love

This might have made more of an impact if less of the words were hightlighted. You've used the shallow dof and lighting to key in on the important phrase very nicely, but it's hard to resist the urge to try to read all of the highlighted text.

I love a walk in the snow at twilight

Interesting shot and lighting, though it feels more like a daytime shot which was edited to have the night feeling since it has such a bright edge on the footprints. I like the diagonal composition and how you got whole footprints in there instead of cutting one off. One of those shots in the challenge that definately needs the title for me to make the connection to love.

Unfaithful

Nice vibrant complimentary colors, but parts of the yellow look blown out. Not sure that this photo depicts love to me without the use of the title.
