focus mankind 0 Posted February 25, 2006 That's most beautifull art - perfect 10/10! It's one of the most erotic works I've seen here - subtile and strong concept! congrats - you're staying on top of my survey list (since baby max). Link to comment
atkphotoworks 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Wonderfully passionate image Stefan. I love the focus on the hands. Link to comment
djthomas 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Okay, I may be way off base here (and off course may tick some people off), but here goes. First, I like the image from a technical perspective very much: DOF great, focus on hands is outstanding. But, I can't help a bit but getting the impression that this image can also convey a certain unwillingness on her part. He appears undressed, she is not (yet), her head is turned away from him and although they are "holding hands" this might be read as him holding her down. I sense some unwillingness here. Then again, maybe it's just me. Link to comment

scotty-jay 0 Posted September 20, 2006 I don't think it looks forced as David suggested, but understand how it appears it could be. I like the shot very much, but I find the light spot on the man's ear to be distracting -- looks kind of like an earring, but not quite (looks to be almost inside the ear lobe). I'm a novice (this is my first post), but if I could, I would remove that spot. Link to comment
allen_r1 0 Posted September 21, 2006 The last two (English) comments just go to show that no matter how perfect a shot you post, someone will have a problem with something...amazing. And so, by the way, is your photo. Link to comment
v. gold 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Loving, Tender and Intense moment...the fingers clasp together in a heated moment... very romantic Link to comment
kurt2006 0 Posted December 2, 2006 I agree with David's comment. The concept of this photo is really good. But the woman's expression does not convey "pleasure", and the grip looks quite forceful. Since they are on a table and not a bed, it looks forced. This has nothing to do with "people finding fault"...they are simply processing the image and reflecting that this looks more "violent" than "erotic". If the photographer did not intend for others to see this in the composition, he should be aware that he failed so he can try again. Please don't scoff at the comments of others who are trying to offer helpful input. Link to comment
momente 0 Posted December 9, 2006 I don't find the woman's facial expression as being suggestive of violence, or reticence, for that matter. No more than it could depict utter pleasure, turned inwardly. Anyhow, I won't complement DOF (since it's the obvious thing to complement here), but I will call it a very feminine DOF, as I am sure that this approach is very much to the 'romantic' tastes of most women. :) Link to comment
melanie_stafford 0 Posted February 14, 2007 This shot is just amazing. I too love the focus on the hands. I agree that that spot of light on the man's ear is a little distracting, but I disagree that it looks violent. Her hand is relaxed as is his. If it was "forced" looking it would seem her nails would be turned inward toward his flesh. Her head being turned doesn't signify unwillingness to me either, but quite the opposite as he is not forcing her head to the side. She is willingly turning her head to allow him to kiss her there. I do agree though that the woman's facial expression leaves something to be desired. Link to comment
brittany_brown1 0 Posted February 14, 2007 I love this photo, it actually brought a tear to my eye ( but this may be because it's Valentines Day, and looking at a happy couple made me jealous :) ) Seriously though, wonderful idea and photo. Link to comment
gdenyer 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Technically I think this is beautiful, although maybe you could have included the tip of his elbow. Regarding interpretation, I do perceive the 'darkness' in the photo that some others have mentioned. Whether or not it was intentional, I personally I think it is what makes this an interesting and truly artistic photo, and not just another 'Hallmark moment'. It shows a beautiful tender moment... or does it? Well done. Link to comment
jillian_beck 0 Posted February 15, 2007 I don't think WOW even quite covers it, everyone has heard the phrase a picture is worth a thousand words, I think that covers it. I'm an amature that looks for these kind of black and white beauties Link to comment
