I take it this didn't work as a b/w or muted color rendering so this happened?

Can you please erase the rest of the entries, except yours and maybe two others? My god, what a sorry lot.

One thing about candid photography is you never run into a situation where the end results turn out cheesy. Boring perhaps, but never cheesy. Can't say that about the sea of staged photos that frequent these types of challenges. Many of these should be served with wine. Perhaps a 2004 Dump Bucket Cuvée by The Vacuous Concept Winery? Just thinking out loud here...

The fake looking figures set against a realistic looking environment seems like a strange mix to me, but you do this often in your work. You'll have parts that look real and other parts that look fake making the whole scene inconsistent and not believable as either a depicition of reality or fantasy.

That said, after reading your opening paragraph the choices you made in this photo makes some sense to me. The people depicit in the nude, hairless, holding each other, divorcing themselves from the rest of the world sort of makes this not about "end of days" but about the every day. We live in a bubble. We eat, drink, socialize rarely giving any thought to those outside of our immediate circle. We're like cgi figures with just enough programming to carry out the basic functions we've been assigned. I'm not sure if this was your intent but this is what I get from it.

Now all you need is a minimal pre and post processing challenge. You know just to test you some more. :P
