What's the Cowboy way... hugging your woman? I think the title is a little misplaced on this one, but that is neither here nor there. You got a good sharp portrait that looks like it would be cherished wherever it is displayed. Good tones add the vintage feel.

Nice processing. You've managed to use the sepia conversion to enhance the shot, rather than it just looking like an afterthought to meet the challenge. Well done.

I like the lighting, the one eye obscured, and the candid quality (during the obvious pose) of this shot.

Fantastic detail; I often am amazed at the amount of detail people can pack in a shot and still have the damn thing work so effortlessly, so un-cluttered. The leading lines on this are fantastic; the windows above; the shadow and reflections below, great.

Great American take on a Japanese style aesthetic; the ethereal wispy spring feel is perfect.

You have captured what I can only describe as the awkward morning light of a cathedral, when its not bright enough to be without interior lights but the light filters in a mix that is odd; or maybe its mostly interior light, just boosted exposure- I only feel an expert in this area because I used to spend a whole lot of time in church, now just a memory :) Anyhow, I particularly like how the shiny marble intersects with the unpolished stone. Nice work.
