The Kiss

It is good to capture intimate moments on camera.

Feedback appreciated.

Beautiful composition and great use of lighting. Congrats.

A beautiful image with superb dynamic range. The skin tones are wonderful and the detail in the hair is amazing. I love the color here but, as you might guess, I would love to see you post it in black and white as well.

-Cheers

A wonderfully pensive moment brilliantly captured. The photograph makes me want to know more about her and what she was considering at the time. Her skin gives this the feel of a toned monochrome photograph, which I like a lot. If this was mine, I would crop the left side in a bit so all you see there is her hair.

David.  Beautiful shot.  I agree with Mark about the cropping.  Dana...

Brilliant! Not much else to add. Or perhaps there is- I would crop it slightly on the left to remove light glare.

The scene, the colors, the lighting, the psychological approach...great stuff, David!

Best regards

Thanks everyone. The crop doesn't seem to be too popular. This is understandable. I deliberated over the crop. Even though I realised it would look better with just the hair on the left, I included a little of the other girl's skin just to make it clear she was there. I wish I hadn't.

Raymond, Kind words. I hope I deserve them.

Owen, I had a funny feeling you may like this. I am glad my feeling was correct. As for the black and white version, I haven't even looked yet.

Mark, The monochrome feeling hit me too. As for what she is thinking, I have no idea. As for knowing more, you know as much as me.

Dana, I am glad you have seen this.

Jack, I am glad the tenderness shows through.

Andrew, I am glad you like it. 

Pierre, This one seems to be a winner. I am glad you took the time to comment.

Thanks again everyone.
