This one gave me a lot of problems in both composing and eventual

cropping. It seems that hands have gotten cut off, one face is not showing,

and it looks a bit like a pile of body parts. Yet it captures an emotional

feeling that I wanted to express. The only other choice I could find was to

crop very closely on the two heads, but that seemed emotionally too

intense. Your ideas would be greatfully received.

I think your comments (self critique) are spot on Jerry. I can't help wondering if this would work better as a study in nude (or two nudes, rather). I would also lose the rings on the fingers and the ear rings. Light seems to a bit harsh for some reason, especially the shadows on the left of the girl's face which need to be filled in. I don't have an issue not being able to see the other woman's eyes or face since the pose captures the emotions fairly adequately. Thanks for submitting.

Hi Jerry, thanks for being frank: this  is a hard one. i am fine with clothes and rings, but i feel the chin of the lower left model is way too large (too light?) for a pleasant image; it simply distracts a lot. keep shooting! rob
