Oh c'mon, there's still at least two millimeters between the two sets of lips! Kiss it! Nicely executed concept shot. Very well done!

Hope - For a Kitten Without a Mom

A wonderful portrait. The two girls are just beautiful and the expression on the faces is priceless. I might have tried a tighter crop to give the overall photo more of a portrait feel and filled the frame side to side with the two faces and kitten below. Very nice!

An extremely compelling, all-around well-done shot. The negative space and black background are wonderful. The mood and emotion are very powerful. Outstanding!

Absolutely outstanding! The pose and crop are very effective, as is the black background. I wish the top were a little more exposed so I could make out at least the outlines of the head. Since the hands are the subject, I'd like to see them a little more clearly also. Great job though!

Wow, this almost looks like a stone statue, but I think it's a heavily processed female human. Very artistic take on the challenge. I like the desat and applied grain. The pose is very dramatic and emotionally charged and I love the use of foliage, both over the privates as well as in the soft background. This image didn't "strike" me on my first review, but it certainly rewards closer study. Very, very well done!

A beautiful model and a lovely shot, but doesn't meet the challenge, IMO.

Great lines and angles but the exposure seems off. With some areas in direct sunlight and some in shadow, exposing a shot like this can be impossible. Looks like you metered on the shadows and the lit areas got a little blown. Bracketing would help. Nice shots Kylie!
