Fly Style

Bugs copulating doesn't really evoke the idea of "Intimacy" for me. With that being said, this is a pretty cool macro shot of two flies. I wish the focus and DOF was able to capture the flies more crisply.

Intimate Bugs

Copulation between bugs actually doesn't stress "Intimacy" to me. That said, this photo is quite beautiful due to the flower's color and structure.

What We Feel, is More Important than What They Say

The nudity between the two models certainly makes the statement that they are a close couple. The fact that they are facing the same direction and up takes away from the idea of intimacy for me. I would prefer them either facing each other or perhaps a closer embrace with the head of the one in the rear closer to the head or on the shoulder of the model in the front. You have guts for doing this nude!

Without the title I might not have immediately realized the hand belonged to someone other than the model. Perhaps her had on top of his would have made this clearer? Nice concept for the challenge.

This is a neat B&W. Trying to figure out how it fits with "Intimacy" though. I must be missing something.

I love you too

I love pets. I've had dogs and cats all my life. This is a great shot for the challenge. There is a bit of me, however, that would prefer to see the dog tongue just a little farther away from the mouth of the model! Nice use of soft focus, here (or shallow DOF).

Close Bond

I like this composition. I think slightly less extremes on the shadows and highlights might warm this up a bit. You may have put the girl on the right in soft focus on purpose, but I wonder if a greater DOF in order to get both models in crisp focus would work even better?

Coupling this shot with the dearly missed Leroy is just short of Genius!

The red sand really grabs your attention and makes you take a longer look.
