A shot of my brother-in-law and his fiance. He is taller than her, but only slightly. This idea is not mine, I got it from a girl in a photography class I took last year (Brook something).

Looks like he is stepping on her foot. He dances like I do. Good shot.

I had a Mrs. Robinson once too. It brings me back to the good 'ol days. This is so romantic and unashamed. I love how there is a familiarity to it for all of us, almost like grade school when the girls were all taller than the boys. It says so much without showing any facial expressions. That is real talent. It's easy to show a mood using faces, but to show a mood using feet? Now that is talent!

Great idea and of course well done! The border works too

LOVE IT! you expect what's happening in the picture, but not showing any other part but their legs and feet make it so mysterious. Red dress, on a bridge, so classic.

The graduate revisited? Nice concept and subtle; on my monitor a little underexposed. Nicely done.

Great idea for a mood shot. Gamma is a tad dark, background not quite simple enough for this shot to have real impact.

Great idea that works well, there is a lot of information implied with good choice of costume and pose.

Is it just me, or is it kinda odd that the guy is on tip toes.... I mean those are some decent sized heels, but come on :P! If it was a deliberate role reversal I like your sense of humour, if not, I like your sense of timing. Good shot!

I would love to see her shoe lifted up behind her on a retro shot like this...alsothink it would be better in black and white or sepia? 5

This is one of the more interesting images in the challenge. The title doesn't really depict emotion or mood. The image, however does remind me of my youth and has a feeling of the 1950's (which is before my youth). I'm struggling a little with identifying any real emotion here other than "remembering the good 'ol days", and that is fine with me. I like the idea, and I like the way you captured only their feet and lower legs. The background is diffused enough to keep your attension on the main subject. There is that small bright object about knee high on the left which is slightly distracting, however. This is one of my favs in this challenge. I hope it does well for you. Good luck. <8>

I really like this shot...minus the title.

Almost makes me want to see him raising the leg. I almost want to say to leave her legs alone, but brighten the rest of the picture a bit. But without playing with it I can't be sure.
