one of my top 10 favorites from the challenge, gave it an 8 - very edgy and dark indeed

Nice image - lovely location and beautiful colors. As a suggestion, it looks as though this image (and the others you have uploaded) are a little soft of focus. It seems that when you were post processing these for the web you may not have used and unsharp masking (USM).

I took the liberty of performing a basic small radius USM on this image to show the difference. I think the sharpened version really helps this out.

great capture of emotion on the woman's face - but the flash makes this look too much like a quick snapshot.

Despair...

excellent image - the lighting is very dramatic. the tones and smoothness on the man really contrast nicely with the sharp linkes and harshness of the wall and floor

nice effort on this - the harsh lighting with the flash really takes away from the warmth you are trying to convey in the image. my concern with the image is that, in a small way, the man's hand actually looks like it is trying to pull off a fingernail of the woman.

No kidding! that is a real emotional response! i like how you captured the person's hand fighting for their life - the spray of the water really adds a good kinetic feel to the image

love the simplicity of the lines - i like also how the lighting on the right is dark relative to the left
