Passionate Kisses

Any use of Berringer's White Zinfadel for holding lacy underwear works for me. :) Composition and content are fine. The candle is overexposed and there is digital "banding" around it which is hard to avoid.

May I buy you a drink, my lady?

Tones are good in this sepia and there are no outragious hot spots. Some voters may fine the white lighting around the heads to be distracting.

Good tones and nice composition. Reminds me of the walkway around Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC Canada. That is a romantic place.

Romance Intruded Upon
by espy2

Comment:
Content, quality, framing and perspective are all very nice in this mage. This is one of the best images in this challenge. Understood about the use of pink as a metaphor for love, but the color may seem too bright and artificial for some voters. Making it a little more subtle might work better.

Keeping Love Alive
by skewsme

Comment:
Content, composition and the use of red combined with sepia makes this a fine image and concept. The clear message that Alfred is NOT and will never be resting eternally with Margaret is powerful. Are they life long lovers torn asunder by circumstance? Did Margaret find another love after Alfred was gone? Was Alfred the only one carrying a torch? We will never know.

The distracting thing about this image is the letters in the names are obscured by the ravages of time.

Love Blossoms

Comment:
The couple looks so happy... Sad this image is so small and not allowed to properly display their new bliss. This will result in a low score.

You might consider a very tight closeup crop of just the couple's heads cutting out as much of the background as possible. In the crop I'd position the woman's nose right smack dab on the left "rule of thirds" line and include the crop to just below the man's boutonniere. And please save it to a full size 640 pixel wide image. You and they will be glad you did.

English Rose

Well done, nice solid black background, good pose. This is probably the incurable romantic inside me coming out because of the challenge but the use of the word "English" in your title conjures up to me that this model is YOUR sweetheart and you are proud of her heritage.

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."

Oh, should I be wrong, ignor completely the username associated with this comment. That guy doesn't know anything. LOL.

Candy Surprise
by annah

Comment:
Generally not a bad image and a marvelous concept.
You might consider two changes:
1-Try a smaller crop or apply different post processing to remove the distracting vignetting and/or color casting from showing up on the corners. 2-Position the candy centered at either the upper or lower left "rule of thirds" intersection point for increased viewer esthetics.

Open Your Eyes Honey

Comment:
Nicely setup. Good perspective and generally a good shot. If possible, for next time consider positioning your model further from the backdrop screen and shooting at a wide f/stop (low number) for a narrower DOF to prevent the backdrop screens wrinkles from showing up.

Enter Romeo
by aerogurl

Comment:
Act 2, Scene II would have a better choice where Romeo, in his famous soliloquy, enters and makes this declaration into the morning mists when, in her radient beauty, Juliet suddenly appears at her window...

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."

Now THAT is romance!
