Hey thats a great pose for 2 people together. Love the contrast and sense of almost charcoal drawing feeling. Nice one!

TOTALLY, TOTALLY, TOTALLY underrated! This was one of only a couple that really caught my eye in the thumbs enough to click it when the voting started. I love the look and feel. GREAT image, Judy!

This is so unusual, I love the nostalgic feel it has. Sorry it didn't do better for you.

Neat effect, Shame DPC didn't see it that way.

I like the old-timey feel to this. Almost like a wood cut.

Great expressions and good composition, but the over-the-top post-processing totally ruins the image for me

This is good, I like the idea, but somehow the eyes come a little too overprocessed to me, especially on the girl on the right.

Interesting shot but an aquired taste at first glance. Great faces in acceptable focus, nearly 100% of the rest out-of-focus. A bit conflicted about the style, but it could "grow on me."

Looks to me like you've ruined a good picture in your post processing.
Excellent diagonal composition though.

Beautiful young girls and lovely pose. Nice contrast with the faces and hair. I am not sure about the post processing though it seems to have done something unnatural to the skin and with two such natural innocent beauties I'm not sure that was needed.

Very nice composition. 7

Nice. I would want to see more separation between girls and background.

I like the high contrast in this photo. Maybe consider a bit of burning on highlights on jeans, as the brightness in that area pulls my eyes away from faces.

very nice overall effect. obviously processed but it works.distracting background helps to focus on the faces. nice composition

I like the captions/faces so the overall composition is very nice. But the image itself is a bit soft adn I would prefer to see this in a shaper image. 5.

One of my favorites of the challenge. Really well done. Not sure how DPC will react, but I do like it.
