| I was browsing through the favorite photos of one of my favorites (jbeguin) and I came across this. The models are beautiful and you've captured great expressions. I really like how the boy is partly in darkness. He is looking away, at neither the photographer or the girl, while she has her arms around him, almost possesively, looking directly into the camera. I'm not sure if this photo says anything to me about trust, or the lack of it, but I sure like looking at it. |

| I gave this a 10. I didn't really need to have a strong idea of which particular sin was there. The tension in the photo is suggestive of many, many things that are fundamental to the human condition (something that all the sins embody). The only thing that I don't quite like is that it seems very staged, since the models are very photogenic, the hair is perfect, the girl's makeup is perfect... I prefer realism, because those things make the emotions in the photo less powerful. |

| The facial expressions are very odd, like something is not quite right. The mood is ominous and mysterious. Very good photograph |

| Not sure if I'm seeing lust of wrath here. They look like they are in an ambracing positions, however he looks like he's ready to kill. I would vote on wrath above anything here. Eitherway, I feel it fits the challenge. Your lighting is wonderful. I really like how half the photo is lit and the other half fades into darkness. Black and white works really nicely here. I think that the focus is great and this is an overall very nice shot. On another note, this looks exactly like a guy I went to school with years and years ago in MI. Good shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~ |

| Her eyes grab you. Good Black & White. Like the clearness and shading to nothingness. |

| If this were for a different challenge I'd have given you a 9. It's a good portrait. Very serious. But I don't see how it fits the challenge. 5 Best of luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious |

10/17/2002 06:20:00 PM |
| Black and White makes this image. Her eyes are key to the image. I wonder if you had shots showing only one or showing both eyes completely? Very nice effort. |

| A great photo that doesn't come out and smack you in the face with the subject matter as so many others do. At first glance it could be some kind of a Gap ad... but there is a disquieting quality to it that shows some kind of undercurrent. She holds him, but as if in restraint. 9 |

| something about the framing that bothers me...maybe a bit more neg space on the right would do it...but otherwise this is a fabulous photo...love the expressions...but can't quite figure out what the sin is....lust or envy...or both :) 9 |

something about this shot really grabs me. i love how the girl is looking at the camera and how the guy looks not completely happy. the lighting is great! very nice emotion shot. 9--alecia
no, scratch that. this photo deserves a 10! |

| I lvoe the shot. In looking at these pictures, I have tried to figure out what sin is being portrayed. In this, it looks like he is wanting to get away, or looking at someone else, but she is holding on. Maybe he is lusting, and she is envious. Technically, (not that i'm qualified to comment) i think it is awesome. The lighting sets the tone and makes it tense, as does the black and white. 10 karmat |

Its a really good portrait, but it looks too much like a brother and sister to say 'sin' in any way.
Unless you were suggesting a bit of the Ol' Tasmanian Tango.
I really dont know what mark to give this. Hmmmmm. 10 for the picture. Minus a few for not comunicating a sin. |

| Stunning picture, wonderful contrast, cropping, everything! One small thing, not sure that I get the SIN aspect. Maybe a title with more explanation would have helped. |

| looks like a slightly twisted add for cologne or designer jeans. I like the eyes on the girl a lot. The people seem a little over-dramatized to me... but I like it on the whole. 7 |

| This is an absolutely TERRIFIC photograph. I'm not sure what sin you were trying to portray -- pride? I dunno, but you know what, I don't care. It is an incredible photo, one of the best I've seen on this site, one for my favs when the challenge ends. Technically perfect and the faces are so expressive and so well framed. My kudos to you! 10, just-married |

| This is a great photo... the lighting is phenomenal. I can't really imagine that part of it being any better at all... it sets a great mood for the photo. The only part that bugs me a little here is the composition. The negative space on the right of the frame doesn't work well for me. I think this image would be a lot more powerful if the people 'slid' to the right and left all the negative space on the left... great shot!!! = 9 - setzler |

Ok, it's probably just me, but I am still trying to find the sin. Trust? I am afraid I don't get it. But if it wasn't for that, I think it is a very good photo. Great in B&W.
Your female mode has beautiful eyes. |

| I think that this is absolutely wonderful, showing attachment which is a critical key component of trust. The look in her eyes is also playing well on this theme. Lights and darks are well done. |

| Although I find this to be a nice shot, I don't see any deadly sins, either portrayed or inferred. I like the black and white, and the lighting is interesting. lhall |
