Great expression on her face. Certainly says 'lust' with discomforting intensity. There are a lot of confusing issued with the shot, though. For example, the upper right hand corner is a lot of empty space. And the tension in the woman's hand seems in conflict with the rest of the shot. Still, the sinful mood comes across well. 9 - chrisab.

A fantastic image, good models, lighting, etc etc... But it's all looking a bit too "romantic" for the uncontrolled nature of Lust, I feel... In another context I might give it a "9" but...

nice photo....like the fact you made it BW, much stronger that way
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/16/2002 05:53:00 PM
you have created a very well toned and professional looking photograph here. sharpness and tonality is very well done. about the only nit i would pick is that i think the position of the guy could use a liitle bit more tweaking. maybe straight up and down in the scene? the facial expression on the female model, however, is phenomenal. : ) mag99

To be honest, the eye contact with the camera takes some of the punch out of this. Maybe closed eyes would have held the moment better. Good job, and my wife likes Chad. 8 nards656

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Excelent portrayal of lust. I think that she is being very suductive, and he is looking at her like he really wants her. Her eyes are perfect. Great angle and framing/cropping. I like the use of black and white here. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

Very nice use of B&W. with her expression, if you could have ditched the guy, or somehow shown her looking at him. Zeiss

would have preferred if she was looking at him.

Very nice photo indeed. I really like that womans look, it brings out the lust in the photo very well.
I have one suggestion, did you try it without the black sheet and only grass? I'm not sure how it would have looked.

Excellent shot... she has a wicked look in her eyes! The B&W works EXCELLENT for this shot. Great job! This looks like it should be an ad... for some clothing company. - 10 - JB

Sexual photo with clothes. I see this as a beginning of a threesome...man, woman, and the photographer with all the attention being centered on the woman. Very suductive and pleasing to the eye. 10

her face looks a little skewed for some reason.

Very seductive eyes. You've got me sold. One of my favorites so far.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Two very attractive models, a good overall shot for this challenge. The look on the girl's face is a bit strange. I can't tell is she is flaunting the fact she has a boyfriend or another emotion. A bit unclear, but a good photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/14/2002 06:12:00 PM
umh... "seduction"? you mean her seducing the viewer 'cause the guy seems lost... : )
good picture. great expression on her.

Awesome composition..great b&w...could you send your male model my way when your done? :P Great example of lust! 10 Lisa
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/14/2002 04:43:00 PM
Looks like she's actually seducing the photographer! He's into her, she's into the photgrapher, almost seems like some kind of lusty menage a trois going on here... ;) I would have liked to have seen this in color.

 10/14/2002 03:02:00 PM
This is seduction? Not between these two it isn't. Female subject is engaging the voyeur/camera. Male subject is passive. As for composition, it's okay. Background textures do nothing for me at all. This is more like "evil kitten at the park one day".

Hmmmm, personally, could have just shot a picture of the guy! Nice composition and the bw works well. karmat

challenge - met
technical - good tonal range, b&w works here
composition - two things strike me ... the fact that the girl is looking straight at the camera and not at her seducer, and her left harm with the hand spread like that looks a little tense and awkward. i would also prefer to se the blanket covering the whole visible ground, the grass is just a little distraction for me. other than that, i like the positioning of the two of them in the grame, and the way he is looking down on her. well done.

My pick of the week. I wonder what it would have looked like in colour? Yes, it works very well in black and white, which adds an element of drama to the image. Great composition and work with the models. 10 Morgan

I like very much how you managed to portray this tastefully. Very well done! I like the use of B&W here.

After going thru all the photos I am changing this from 8 to 9. The expression on her face speaks for itself.

Good photo, tones. Not crazy for the crop but that may be due to our size limits. Good luck. Justine

This shot really stands out in the challenge. It's a clear shot of beautiful people. What's not to love? I like the way you posed them, and I like that she's looking at the cam. B&W works for this. Nice lighting. *sigh* If she gets tired I'd be happy to take her place :o) ~indi
