Congratulations... nice shot of the Peter Iredale, Oregon's most famous and enduring shipwreck! Reminds me of home.

Agree it is a nice image, disagree about there being jpeg compression artifacts. Not a one I can see. Good color and interesting foliage framing of the mushroom.

Restrained Romance

Interesting image and decently well done but many viewers will have trouble relating it to romance. However, tt would do great in the "bondage" challenge. ;)

Any use of Berringer's White Zinfadel for holding lacy underwear works for me. :) Composition and content are fine. The candle is overexposed and there is digital "banding" around it which is hard to avoid.

May I buy you a drink, my lady?

Tones are good in this sepia and there are no outragious hot spots. Some voters may fine the white lighting around the heads to be distracting.

Good tones and nice composition. Reminds me of the walkway around Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC Canada. That is a romantic place.

Romance Intruded Upon

Content, quality, framing and perspective are all very nice in this mage. This is one of the best images in this challenge. Understood about the use of pink as a metaphor for love, but the color may seem too bright and artificial for some voters. Making it a little more subtle might work better.

Keeping Love Alive
by skewsme

Comment:
Content, composition and the use of red combined with sepia makes this a fine image and concept. The clear message that Alfred is NOT and will never be resting eternally with Margaret is powerful. Are they life long lovers torn asunder by circumstance? Did Margaret find another love after Alfred was gone? Was Alfred the only one carrying a torch? We will never know.

The distracting thing about this image is the letters in the names are obscured by the ravages of time.

English Rose

Well done, nice solid black background, good pose. This is probably the incurable romantic inside me coming out because of the challenge but the use of the word "English" in your title conjures up to me that this model is YOUR sweetheart and you are proud of her heritage.
