@AAM1234, No, don't be silly. You don't have to like every picture I take.

Hope you are not upset/offended, Lee. I've seen your work over the years and you produce stunning photos.

Didn't read any of the comments.

For me, you are much better than this, Fly. This is kind of lame, if you ask me.

They appear to be dancing so to me they seem hemmed in by being too close to the background where the shadows of their arms are quite prominent. I think this would work better if they were further away from the background or if his arms were wrapped around her in more of an embracing pose........but what do I know....I've never worked with models! Lovely couple anyway, and great colors and lighting Lee! :-D CJ

The background really adds to the skin tones and the flowers. Also, nice match with the lipstick. Great passion and emotion captured - a fitting pic for this challenge! - angioman

Thanks.

We use both studio lights and flash. All there of mine were done with flash. The first one was off camera and the last two were on camera.

Here is a picture of me in action for the first shot.

I like the look of the first picy of the bloke with the outstretched arms even knowing it's posed but this one seems to need the same sort of framing as I find it a bit jarring the way their arms are cut off. If their cut off arms were straight down I think this framing would have worked better. Do you just use your own flash for these picys or do the group you shoot with supply studio flashes? I like the skin tones in this picy.

I love the positioning in the frame and the warmth of colour. Julie

Somehow appealing even if posed - the models make it work. Or is this a dance and a lucky capture? -tv
