I finally bought myself a macro lens last week and thought to myself that it would help me much in the intimacy challenge. Well.... you just proved me wrong!!! Bravo. This is hilarious. You pulled it off perfectly.

The white balance in this photo is way off and the graininess is very distracting. I obviously don't know what camera you are using, but check the manual to see if you can adjust the white balance setting. Typically, there is a setting for indoor lighting (sometimes called tungsten or represented by a light bulb symbol). In that setting, you will get much more natural colors.

The soft focus works well for this photo. However, be careful about lens distortion when composing. In this image, the man's foot appears twice as large as his head and really pulls the attention away from the subject's faces. Back up and zoom in to prevent that.

Mother & Daughter

I would have preferred to see the eye contact between the mother and daughter to establish a deeper sense of intimacy. Aside from that, the lighting is spot on.

Nice composition, nice use of negative space, nice lighting, nice skin texture, etc, etc, etc.

Sorry, I got nothing negative to say.

I would have done away with the plastic beach chairs as the don't add to the image, are distracting, and give the photo a snapshot feel.

OMG - we forgot the baby on the bus.

The sharp change in lighting is distracting. Ideally, all the subjects should have been in the shade and any sunlight areas should be cropped out. Pictures taken in bright overhead sun rarely come out exposed properly.

As a whole, the photograph is very appealing. I like the expression and the mood is certainly intimate. My only criticisms, if I may, are: the overexposure on the right back of the model draws away the viewers attention and the two fingers of the left hand peeking up from the crop are distracting. As a side note, a red bra could have driven the message home a bit more.

This is very nicely composed and has a great sense of intimacy. If those other two monkeys on the left moved on, it would have been better. But I would bet that you already knew that.
