very cute - like the subdued coloring and skin tones are spot on. Would be nice to have both babies facing camera or at least both with eye contact - kind of a requisite for decent portraitures.

Also perhaps a bit more focus or even unsharp mask if to late.

Great effort though - a top ten pick

The scale seems way off on this photo - like that man is either standing on a mole hill or is the biggest dude in history ;D

Apart from that I like the colors and the atmospherics. Maybe a bit too much blue at the bottom - and a bit more detail needed.

Overall a top ten pic.

nice angle, good twist for interest. Nice pose from the male model - a very masculine pose. Colors seem a bit too vibrant - and the range of reds to blues is too drastic. I suggest toning the saturation down by 10-30%.

Overall a nice shot.

Yup very cool and very different - one of my picks. Maybe a little more contrast needed.?

Now as far as sweetness goes, this is a ten. For photographic qualities is isn't so high I am afraid. The white fade is very cheap looking and ruins this shot.

hehe a common shot -but a good'en!!!! Great tension and moment of capture on the figure. Can't fault this in many ways. A little bit dull as far as definition and light go - but nothing too much that takes away from the moment.

Top ten for sure.

As a fan of huge contrast i must say this i a little to dark and dirty for me. The skin tones are grainy and brown which tends to look more like dirt than dark.

I think with a black background this would be more fitting and make the darkness less harsh.

Nice pose though - would like to see it centered.

nice idea, central and eye catching - the box looks a bit messy and the pose is ever so slightly lopsided. Sounds picky but lopsidedness really affects some images.

Overall a very nice and new effort! Good luck!

I am guessing this is bobsters pic - if so I am not going to comment ;D

Joke.

Right, lots to say here. I think for starters your pose is nice and loving. There is a good degree of united front and togetherness here, and you have captured a tender moment.

However, for these positives, i can see some people using that as a negative. Humans by nature do not like to see others being affectionate (well the British don't ;) So people may feel uncomfortable seeing an image posed as this one is. Joining that with the fact that we all kind of know each other on DPC makes it more personal and accentuates that even more so.

That aside, i think it could do with a smidgen of contrast - making some deeper dark shadows or blacks really come out and give it more contrast.
