At first look I thought it was a Satanic type of thing with the pentagram and the smearing of something on the models bodies!

nice body painting
the light is a little bit flat (flash?) so that distracts a bit

Very provocative image!! Palestinian and Israeli flags very well done. Great shooting angle and lighting. Wonderful expression on faces. Should get ribbon, but nudes don't seem to do well.

I don't think this is necessary, really, as a statement. In terms of the image itself, well...I think the lighting could be much improved, the posing and composition were awkwardly done, and the models' expressions extremely unpleasing.

8 for the effort and the idea, but I don't think it has achieved that level technically. I don't like the light (maybe it has to do with the paint on the models, but I doubt it), the background is terrible and the pose is strange. I think it would be better if they were doing something to each other (looking, kissing, holding hands, whatever), rather than looking at me, and that from a high point of view.
Kudos for out of the box approach and a beautiful pair of models.

Nice, but does it match with the current challenge?

If anything can work for peace I wish it success.
As a picture, it fails to pass the peace message to me.

Very creative. The lighting is not too flattery for these beautiful women though. Bring them away from the background and shoot with a shallow DOF to blur the background or find a less busy backdrop.

you obviously went through a lot of trouble, but the result was not so good. bacground, lighting, focus, composition are all poor...not sure how it fits into the topic either
