I do like the range of grays you got on this. Not being able to see the females eyes, is a bit distracting, especially because of the reflections.

Nice use of monochrome and I like the title because it pulls together two very different expressions into one image conceptually as well as the literal fact of these two people being together in the picture. - 8

I can't say why but I REALLY like his portrait! I don't think it will win but I hope it placed in the top ten - doing my part - 10

very noisy image. their heads should also be closer together with her eyes at his cheek level. if they are sun glasses, they have got to go, as they don't add to any story here.

I like the pose and the choice of B+W, don't care for the sunglasses, it would be nice to see her eyes. Not completely sure about the tree behind him, perhaps a bit more physical separation to throw it a bit more OOF.

A competent and stylish portrait. I find myself drawn more to the man, however who seems toc ommand a greater presence. it's not because he is taller - I think it is because of her glasses and a sense that her face is not quite so well focussed as his? Portraits of couples are tricky as they risk this competition betwen the subjects. When both face the camera, they should arguably be equal. Dark glasses make her more of an ambivalent model.

The focus is just a bit soft on the girl. They are so serious. I like this shot. I think the tones are wonderful Good entry.

Very good photo. The background focus is nicely blurred, and the subjects are nice and crisp. Great lighting too. Really nice.

nicely composed. I like the repetition in the angles of theor collars and the tree behind him. I would have removed her glasses or used a polarizer to get rid of the distracting reflections on them.
