I really like this one personally and have it printed large scale in my office.
For those who asked, the photo was not staged, I was taking various shots on a high ground when I noticed these two beneath me, totally out from two long days and nights of training.

The sense of peacefulness is what is so compelling for me in this photo, even if the exposure is not balanced right in the photo (which I find quite complementing).

Thank you all for voting and commenting! Didn't expect this much feedback.

Interesting shot from above. Good use of black and white to draw out our subject.

Very interesting perspective, this stands out. Great in the black and white.
03/17/2009 11:57:54 AM
Interesting and unusual angle.
03/16/2009 07:13:55 PM
Good eye for spotting this candid..
03/16/2009 03:11:39 AM
Well captured and presented.
03/15/2009 10:32:24 PM
Different angle. Not easy to tell much about the person on the right of the shot.
03/15/2009 08:05:55 PM
Different angle. Well shot.
03/15/2009 05:37:12 PM

Nice capture with an unusual POV.
03/15/2009 04:54:58 PM
me likey. very cool perspective.
03/15/2009 12:00:56 PM
I like the look of the person on the left but the right side is a jumble and too dark to add much to the photo.
03/15/2009 10:27:10 AM
imo, the focus should have been on her face.
03/15/2009 03:45:17 AM
interesting perspective, but the right half did not contribute to this shot. TRy cropping the right half off and see what you think, 5
03/14/2009 10:11:41 PM
This is a very cool perspective. It's always refreshing to see that.
03/14/2009 07:20:02 PM
interesting angle - miss some crisp
03/14/2009 12:35:16 PM
Her face is a little too bright, its kind of distracting.
03/14/2009 11:05:08 AM
I know what is happening in this photo, but I think it could be shown more clearly as the man is fairly dark overall.
03/14/2009 11:01:58 AM
Interesting perspective. I think the person on the right is a little too dark though - can't really make them out. Only my opinion.
03/14/2009 09:31:54 AM
I like the use of a different angle.
03/14/2009 09:20:50 AM
I'd use the word "sublime" but I'm not entirely sure if that's the one I want. It is very well titled, as it conveys a sense of peace, of contentment.
03/14/2009 07:20:36 AM
she does indeed look very peaceful
03/14/2009 07:14:21 AM
cool perspective, nice conversion to B&W
03/14/2009 04:16:56 AM
Peaceful portrait. Looks if they are sleeping. Nice drawings on the plaster.
03/14/2009 02:10:43 AM
Not sure if this is a posed shot, or a bit of street photography. There appears to be a story here.
03/13/2009 11:57:34 PM
Intimate yet detachedly beautiful.
03/13/2009 11:09:41 PM
Interesting composition.
03/13/2009 06:43:04 PM
These people are soldiers I think. Israeli soldiers perhaps? Maybe something more benign; her nails are not terribly warlike. He has a broken arm with a couple of portraits on the plaster cast. It's a very interesting point-of-view, looking directly down at them this way. I hope to find out more about this picture, later. What kind of Peace, for example. 7.

No resting, BACK TO WORK!!
03/13/2009 02:09:14 PM
Interesting angle on this study. Nice use of darks and lights.
03/13/2009 10:36:58 AM
talk about catching a nap...like your tones
03/12/2009 10:14:52 PM
good angle and like the detail in the cast
03/12/2009 08:53:43 PM
Good pic. A little to dark...almost can't see the subject to the right.
03/12/2009 05:00:35 PM
I wish I could step into the world of this photo and relax there for a while. Really great emotional image.
03/12/2009 09:04:42 AM
An unusual perspective and nice tones.
03/12/2009 04:23:32 AM
Good concept but the right half of the frame is all a bit dark, maybe if he was looking up too?
03/11/2009 06:25:13 PM
Nice, fun perspective!
03/11/2009 06:05:01 PM
Interesting perspective here.
03/11/2009 05:51:00 PM
I really like your composition here.
03/11/2009 03:42:19 PM
I like the pov
03/11/2009 11:15:12 AM
nice shot, but a little too dark in my opinion, specially the left side...
03/11/2009 07:09:05 AM
Very interesting env portrait, near perfect exposure on the girl and the fact that I can't see the guys face intrigues me. Not sure about the negative space at the top of the photo, the pavers are a little distracting IMO. Best of luck. 8
03/11/2009 05:47:07 AM
nice shot
03/11/2009 03:36:24 AM
nice in B&W she has a real contented look to her
03/11/2009 02:05:04 AM
cool perspective.. would like to see a bit more highlight on the person on the right.
03/11/2009 12:39:51 AM
This really makes me stop and study the image - an unusual perspective. Is that a cast he has on his arm? She is very beautiful, and looks like she deserves that break.
