 Willemijn & Johanneke identical twins and very very photogenetic indeed
invested 3 secs in this image so im not complaining about a score
it was their first offical footballmatch on this icy cold saterday afternoon and we lost the game 8 to 1 (the 10's are meant for the girls) so not much reason for a smile ;-)
everybody agreed they are very very talented for this game tho
the best thing i did here was i made use of the fill-in flash and the colours i remixed them a little but the main charm of this image is absolutely on account of the girls

I think of this as an homage to Diane Arbus's famous photo of twins. Here, there is a more conscious effort to bring out the dark side (the severe expressions and the distortion of their bodies through foreshortening), which actually makes it more fun than the original (of course, Arbus was not trying to have fun!). I love this.

B&W !!! Where is the b&w of this one?!

I think this one should have been scored higher!
They are charming.
And it took me a second to noticed that they are not the same :-)
A real keeper!

Great expressions. Nice color. The aluminum rail in the background is distracting. And the girl on the left(models left, viewers right) has something distracting on the inside of her left sleeve.

Are they indentical twins? If so, why don't their shoes match? I think this would have been great if they were sitting alike, hair alike, shoes alike, with same look on both faces!

Geneticly and chronologicly even, good original approach. Well photographed too.

very minor (no pun intended this time) thing, wish the shoes had been at least the same color, nice photo overall

IMO a snapshot of two very pretty girls - with a large south facing window and some posing these two could bring you a ribbon

Look pretty even to me. Nice portrait. Only issue would be non-matching shoes, but you can't have everything.

This is a very well done snap-shot type photo. Exposure and focus are dead on. There are a few details that could have made it something better.

Shadows (particularly the deep shadow behind the legs) are distracting. It appears you used fill flash effectively, but you've left those shadows. A pcoket bounce may have lightened those shadows for you.

Perhaps the most annoying detail for me is the top "border" where the brick ends. My eyee is drawn to it.

I'd like to see the subjects more posed. A symetrical composition with them in very similar positions would have made a strong entry for this composition. With that, having black shoes vs. white shoes throws off the balance.

Beautiful girls. I'd love to see more formal portraiture of them. This doesn't do them justice. WOW - their skin is gorgeous.
