		| | Nice use of closeup and low contrast to make a point. |

		| | no doubt U gotten the title/theme  of the challenge, however in my opinion, its too FLAT and washed out (and small as well). |

		| | A very strong image! Like a painting! The eyes and half-opened mouth of the women as-well-as the man's absent expression are simply great. Also the cropping is very well done. However, somehow something is missing technically to make this picture a winner image IMO. But I have to admitt that I don\'t know what. Maybe it\'s just a frame so the image does not get lost on the browser page. |

		| | why all the haze? I think it really takes away from the emotion of your shot. Did you also try this in bw? Might really have added to the feel (and scent) of it. |

		| | Too soft and noisy for me. Sorry. 2 |

		| | Is this misty intentionally? Great concept, but I'm unsure about the execution... |

		| | I like how you cropped out his eyes and I like the angle of her head.  The look on her face (half closed eyes, partly opened mouth) gives this a very sensual feel.  I know the blur was intentional to give this a soft, sexy feeling but I think it's over-blurred, imo.  Unless of course you're going for that steamed up shower door look! ;-)  Really though, it's a good shot.  I gave this an 8. |

		| | ah!  A little overly soft focused and grained and fuzzy.  I think in focus and Black and white would have been better. | 
 |

		| | Wow, good photo of emotional links to scent. The soft focus works great to create the right mood for the viewer, it makes the scene steamy ~hot~sexy.
 I am not sure about the noise, I think it would be to 'sharp' without it, destroying the mood. Good as it is.

		| | Nice shot. A little too soft IMO. | 
 |

		| | Captures the intimacy really well | 
 |

		| | Great picture! I would have used a little more contrast but the concept and composition is very good. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 11/27/2003 08:09:59 PM | 
		| | good idea, but lacks clarity. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 11/27/2003 10:13:16 AM | 
		| | I like the soft focus very much.  But I wonder what chance it will have against the sharp and clear shots.  It seems those are favored.  Good luck. |

		| | You could use this for the soft focus challenge as well. Very good idea, an important smell in everyday life. I like the soft effect, keeps it a bit more distant from the actual person and emphasises more the experience/smell. Her expression is good as well, really taking in the smell. |

		| | One of my favorites from this challenge. May have been the best with just a little less softness. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 11/26/2003 03:07:20 PM | 
		| | Sexy shot. I like it. Like the softness also. Good luck. | 
 |

		| | Very good interpretation.  The softness is nice. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 11/26/2003 11:27:54 AM | 
		| | A bit too hazy for my likeing, but good idea. | 
 |

		| | Tender mood. Blur and grain works fine here. Subtle tone gradation too. Why not use the 640 pixels allowed here?
 One of my favs so far.

		| | Soft and sensuous, meets the challenge for me, but lacking in a good tonal range that would make it more visually appealing. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 11/26/2003 05:06:39 AM | 
		| | Great idea - you could double up for "Soft Focus"!  Nice moody shot. | 
 |

		| | Love the pose, the expresions, composition, says scent nicely.  This comes over as a very sensual phoyo indeed.   A little less "soft" might have helped as it looks a little foggy, but overall I love this. |
