The emotion in this portrait really adds a lot! It tells a story like many of the other photos do not, with the flowers and the embrace. It doesn't look all "studio" or anything, but it's a very evocative photo. I like how the two heads and the flowers all tilt at the same angle. This is very nice!

How could I rate one different from the other? They both got the same from me. These two are both beautifully done, loving portraits of each of you! I loved the execution ... both pictures have excellent detail, focus, and DOF. (Yep, it's even the same comment!)

Oh Hey there,
Ahhh! I see. Now it makes more sense. I saw the "Holding Him" photo quite a while ago. (I'm slow) Too bad your two photos can't be linked during Voting. I wonder if both photos will recieve the same score. Don't take this personally, but I think the "Holding Him" photo will score higher, because I find her more attractive than you. =o)
That aside. I guess this comment is more of an add on to the other comment. Well if I was picky, I'd say that there aren't as many flowers pointed toward the Camera in this shot. The extra green camouflages them against the background. A shorter DoF might have helped with that a bit, or a different background. Althought I see that you want to keep the flowers in the frame and still have the same aspect ratio, I would have tried to center the two of you more, with your face off center.
