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 ?

Nice bold picture - I'm not sure about the 'Intimate' part, but very nice tones and colours, and a classy shot.
