Did a very nice job here because you kept the hearts subtle to match the moment. Very nice work. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

It's funny, I've done a nearly identical shot for some stock work and the thing that jumped out at me was the dirt that shows up on the black keys. ;^) That might have cost you a point or two... One other consideration - have you mirrored this? The eye tends to be more natural/comfortable to go left to right (Western culture thing I guess). Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Thanks for your comment. I liked the scratches on the keys because I know is 100 years old and the wear shows its use. But since you didn't know that history you thought it was dirt. Good to see it from your perspective...

I mirrored it and took away some of the "dust". Here's my result: //adriennegc.com/DUOTONES.htm

Yup same idea as mine yet so much better execution here ! Perfect lighting on your model and and the pose is fantastic, only thing I don't like is the shoulder of the model for two reasons i) would like to see more of her by only a fraction and ii) the shoulder seems blurred but not DOF... Good luck this is a 10 from me :0)

Cute idea. Maybe if the visual emphasis were more on the kisses and less on the model?

The softness of the model works for me in this image. Usually would mark down a tad for that. Great idea. - 8
