I elected to use a rating table to decide on what value to assign during voting.
Here̢۪s the table:
1 No Animal/People Interaction
2 Slightly Appealing, but no Animal/People Interaction
3 Moderately Appealing, but on Animal/People Interaction
4 Greatly Appealing, but no Animal/People interaction
5 Not Appealing, but possessing Animal/People Interaction
6 Slightly Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
7 Moderately Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
8 Greatly Appealing and possessing Animal People Interaction
9 Better than #8, and caused an audible sigh
10 Better than #9, and would likely declare it a favorite

Hmmm. Not sure the perspective is telling the story as effectively as it could, though I'm betting this was a tricky one to try and capture.

the angle is what makes this one really interesting.

The lighting doesn't work for me, too uneven with so much shadow to the right. A more even lighting would have been better for me.

Comment by malski:
There's something aggressive about this picture that is unsettling and that can be a good thing depending on what the photographer is trying to say - this doesn't say tease to me, it says payback time.... a provocative capture, either way... black and white might have been cool to use

To me it lacks some "punch". But the pose is perfect

Comment by StephenG:
The image looks too flat. Too much grey and not enough highlights. It needs a different crop also.

Really? To me, it looks like somebody should be calling the cops or the fashion police. Or maybe I'm just getting too old...? The photo looks a little dark and I think it could be cropped a little tighter so we could see the facial expressions better. And maybe get away from the corner of the room.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
This makes me wonder what is going on. A play, perhaps? A couple of big problems I must mention:

-composition needs some croppping. There is a lot of empty wall space on both sides that does nothing for the image. A tighter crop on the sides would aid.

-Heavy compression is creating visible artifacts outlining both of the people. Compression kills detail. Always use the least compression you can get away with and still come in under challenge limits. Most image editors have that ability to adjust compression somewhere in the file save dialog.

-His pants are falling down. (C'mon, you have to expect that comment from someone over 40)

Definitely a nice concept. could score higher if the sharpness was better and the colors were not too pale. Nice shot still.
