Holding Him

I saw this one back to back with "holding her" and I was blown away by how cute it was, and what a co-incidence that they would appear together on my random display. I didn't get to comment on this one as I accidentally closed the browser, but I"ll take the time now to say the two shots together are adorable, and a great way to go beyond the challenge and show us something about you too.

Lovely shot. The pale colours are great and work well with the silhouette.

Neat idea, a pair of portraits! Same comment applies here too: exactly what a self-portrait should do, tell something about yourself. Very nicely done.

And here's the other half of the Sidwell combo! You guys make it so blatantly obvious who you are; what's this, vote-pandering??? The problem is one has an original idea and the other is just a copycat and stealing the now famous flower bouquet prop, too. All joking aside, these two pictures would make a very nice diptych and i do like your combined efforts in these self portraits and the two of you do come across as a great team! Lovely colors. The reddish cast in your hair and the orange/red colors are a nice complementary to the greens in the background. 7
When i look at this portrait i see a warm and sympathetic woman. A good woman! And since a good woman is so tough to find i'll up her picture to a 9. Dsidwell better not be jealous of the score discrepancy; he ought to know that he is a doggone lucky guy. 9

This is wonderfully soft-colored. The simple composition is terrific.

The framing is overpowering this photo. Otherwise, nice composition.

Almost Ashes
by sagestudio

Comment by dsidwell:
Perfect shot for this challenge. The ashes not only describe this tragic event, but also add mood to the image. The border, oddly enough, makes this seem like a work of art rather than the journalistic photography that is perhaps really is. Nice work!
