The colour in this is nice. It's a soft, relaxed photo.

I find when using a pure black background, people need to really be standing up otherwise it appears as if the subject is floating in mid-air.

This is what has happened here. There is nothing to suggest any kind of flooring so it look s a bit lost just plonked in the middle.

Your pose - whilst probably not for everyone, does have good qualities to is - you joined, combined and merged into one which gives me a sense of harmony.

I can't help but feel had this been shot on a nice antique wooden floor then your score would be much higher than it is.

The yellow cast isn't needed IMHO - black and white or subdued colors would work better here for me. Choosing color casts in people is very difficult -yellow looks like jaundice - red is like scolding - blue is like dead people - green is like illness. etc etc

Full marks for the other qualities though.

A beautifully conceived and executed photo. The pose is very honest and straightforward, I love the tones and the immaculate black background. Absolutely wonderful shot.

I like the way you have them posed and I like the sepia on the black bg. I'm not sure about the angle you shot this at, though. It seems like you were higher up than them and it makes them look like they are going face first, down a hill. I also feel there's a big too much negative space in the ULC. I would like to see this again shot from a lower angle. Maybe even eye level with them...?

Nice work, though. To even enter this type of contest takes guts on the part of the photographer and the victims...I mean, models. :-)

A very bold shot, nicely executed. Very effective lighting and background. The man's pose is very brave, exhibiting a vulnerability that I imagine most men would be uncomfortable with displaying in public. In this pose, the woman has taken on a mothering dynamic, and I think this shot is a very interesting exporation of the woman as sexual care-giver which is not explored very often in photography. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this! Either way, great shot.

The topheavy cropping feels awkward in this shot.
