Loved By You

This shot needs no title, no explaination, to fit into the challenge. Nice expressions on both. Seems a tad grainy, but you handled the white fur nicely without any blown out spots. What a cute kitty!

Quite a close up there, maybe even a little too close? Nice dof and lighting on this one.

Best Friends

I see where you're going with this one, but they seem a little disconnected from each other... no eye contact, body language etc. that would indicate that they're friends.

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.

Hugs and Kisses

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 :)

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.
