I think the idea and technical execution of this shot are both great. The framing is spot on, monochrome was the right choice, and the set-piece use of the mirror was great.

But someone forgot to tell the woman about the "passion" bit. It looks like she is much more concerned with the camera than with the guy.

I think that this would be more effective if the woman wasn't looking at 0 degrees... it seems as though she's uninterested in the man and distracted. Otherwise, I think that a higher crop on the bottom, but so his hand is still visible, would be great... very cool idea and nice BW

Great concept. But she looks more anxious than passionate.

The shadows hurt you a little here. I like the idea, and I like the blinds in the mirror. She doesn't look particularly passionate, though.

Comment by Jaded_Housewife:
I think the lighting is a little too harsh in parts and her expression is a little off putting. She's a Beautiful women! Don't get me wrong. But with passion in the title I'd hope to see some sign of that other than the "fine. i'll stand here for the pic. just hurry it up. I got laudry to go fold." look and stance. I'd prefer she were at least visibly holding the man as well.the tones in this photo are great and of course its plenty sharp. the technicals are there just not the emotion.

Nice idea. The lower third of this photo doesn't add anything to the mirror, nor to your title. It might be better to crop off the bottom near the front edge of the dresser.
