Not sure if it's a treatment or an overlay...but it's different. Not sure if I like it. It does give the photograph a more "drawing" rather than "photo" feel, but I keep wanting to see the facial details more. It almost seems to must e the colors a bit too much IMO. This is a very different idea. 6

Not the most flattering angle for the girls. (They call this "nostril" view). :)

The color tones on this are very nice. Love the lighting as well. Very, interesting.

The reflection dominates the photograph more than the people...thus I would not classify this as a group portrait. People aren't the subject here. As a reflection shot, I would also crop the bottom to get rid of the beige and the orange.

Excellent focus and posing. I even like the somewhat small color range. My only nit is the light glare on the sunglasses and the man's forhead. (Powder) :D This is an appealing shot.

I picked this out as a thumb!! Darling capture and a very creative use of lighting and model posing. I like this crop (socks, tiles, shirts and hair are all tonally in synch!). Would also like to see a tighter crop without floor and feet. Might have an even more powerful effect, if that's possible. One of my favs in this challenge!! Should ribbon IMO.

Wish there were a bit stronger focus here. Looks a hair soft. Great composition and subjects!!

To me, this is more snapshotish (is that a word??). Perhaps cropping on a smaller group would be more appealing to me. (Roughly bottom left corner 2/3s?) Having said that, your colors are amazing and I like the bit of backlighting that appears in spots. Great focus and dof in the shot! Still very nice! 5

The very blue tint makes it hard to look at.

Gorgeous capture. The lighting is perfect. I love the sepia tone rather than color. Nicely done!
