She has stories to tell I am sure of. Hope she is safe and happy. This image gives me an emotional response, which is always good.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is an amazing portrait Lev - more so given the original file; I can't remember where I saw that, but to have seen the potential and then to pull off an edit to this effect is amazing. Toning and structure is just brilliant and the expression of the women priceless.

Critical stuff: I think the linearly textured background over her left shoulder is perhaps a little distracting - might it have been selectively blurred? (Nit-picking!)

Overall: A magnificent portrait - very well seen and masterfully edited.

I really like this shot. The man standing on his toes really conveys the idea of the kiss. The black and white is very effective.
