I quite like this - but the crop near her head is too close, and I'm undecided about the grain.

This has a nice feeling of intimacy to it - although at that age he was more likely trying to gross her out :- )

OMG - we forgot the baby on the bus.

what a wonderfully disorganised group - this could almost be a composite where you had randomly placed a string of different characters in the shot . . wait till his wife see's this :- )

Shared Moments

nice shot, crop, and great DoF.

Only nitpick is that the bridge (?) in the background pulls the eye away from the young couple, and on my monitor it blends into the back of his shirt providing a further distraction. If this wasn't a 'Basic Editing' challenge you could have that fixed in two moments - but hey

That aside a nice shot.

Cold Weather, Warm Family

Lovely shot.

There is much to like here, the diagonal formed by the rock in the foreground, the gentle colour range (nothing loud or distracting) the two sub-groups within the overall group (everyone ahs someone to love), and the baby sitting safe and protected between the adults.

Lovely shot conveying 'Intimacy' beautifully.

Should do very well.

got it?

'Got it' ?

Got what ? I think I may have lost it years ago to be honest . .

Nice portrait and crop.

Nice capture, and dont' they look proud of their nest :- )

My only suggestion would have been to bump the saturation on this shot - the birds have such a wonderful deep metallic sheen to thier colours.

What We Feel, is More Important than What They Say

Nice lighting and focus - There has clearly been a fair amount of thought and effort in this but the aim of the picture eludes me somewhat. The models are not looking at each other, or at the Camera (viewer) or even at something that we as the viewer can also look at and be drawn further into the picture.
While the second model has a suitably 'arty' expression, the front one looks like she has just noticed a mark on the curtains :- )

As the models are turned so far away from us I feel the viewer is left more as an observer, almost a voyeur of something going on - rather than directly involved - and the aim of this challenge is all about intimacy - if not us with the models, then at least them with each other.

Sorry for the wordy comment, but I feel that for me you got all the technicals very nicely in this - but missed the emotional element. That's obviously just my view though :- )

Good luck in the challenge.

Lovely portrait. Delightful lighting and pose - B&W is the ideal medium for this shot.

That wouldn't be young Rowan would it ?
