Lovely sensual portrait. Her face alone is very expressive. I would like to see the close up of her face only. (No voting, just commenting)

I don't like the large black spot. I can't tell what it is. Perhaps your DOF is a bit too shallow.

The title says it all
Loving the look with the eyes and mouth
And the droplets on the skin dont do it any harm either.
Very desirable indeed.

From the Critique Club

Oh I'm glad I pulled this image. I like it a lot. I think your photograph ties in very well with the title and song lyrics. The song (B side of "I want to hold your hand) is about a boy loosing his girl to another boy. And he (This Boy) wants her back. The other boy want be happy, where he will if he gets her back.
So I take that and look at the photograph and I can see that in the picture. Yes the boy in the photograph is young but we all remember I first puppy loves. And I think that is where this picture and the title along with the challenge works well. Congratulations on a good choice.

Now as far as the technical aspect of the photograph I don't see much wrong there. I love the tone -by far the best for this photo. I think the lighting from the highlights, midtones, and shadows are all great. And the composition is good.

If I had one or two things to pick on it would be the bright areas in the background. Even though they are very well softened by the use of a shallow dof they still draw a little attention away from the face. I wish his eyes would of been a little brighter showing more detail. Other than that, I think this is a great piece of work from the photo to the title to making it all fit the challenge. Great Photograph!

Keep up the good work and I hope you find the critique helpful.

Was in my top 10, I love the natural boy, even his "sideburns" are growing out, which makes for an amazing genuine image of a child.
