Great idea for the challenge. The lighting is very harsh. Would have been more believable as a cheater if the man was wearing a wedding ring. Would have liked to see the faces more. You look very romatically dressed, but he does not. That is just something I noticed. Would have fit the title better if one of you was trying to hurry up and leave (standing up) but grabbed each other for one more kiss. The sitting down position doesn't look very romantic. Would have been better if you were barefooted also. Of course these are all just my opinions and everyone has a different point of view. I hope this wasn't too harsh, just trying to give my honest opinion of your entry. Good luck in future challenges.

So Kita beat you again? :) (Left a comment on her shot btw)

I think this would have worked better if his t-shirt had been all light grey. As it stands, it 'mixes in' with your dress half-way down. The lighting is a bit harsh as well, especially on the left of the man. Was this on-camera flash?

Good idea though, and it was a refreshing change from the other entries in the challenge.

great job. lighting works well as does the comp, but might've been better in color.

the flash gives a spotlight effect to this photo which works quite nicely. would have been fun to see them caught, too!

Without the title this really doesn't have any connection to the challenge.

why is it always they blokes that are cheating, how come the females are always innocent. works great as a black and white its like a private eye was stalking one of these to catch them in the act. gotcha

interesting idea, but the flash shadows are a bit distracting, and the whites are really washed out. I suppose the darkness/flash could be said to add to the 'clandestine' feel of the situation, but, ehh.

The more I look at it the more I find the pose awkward (his pose, that is. She's natural.)
I'm not sure about the choice for b&w here, and finally, the title makes the challenge match, not the image itself. A slight deduction there.
