Glad you took my critical comment in good humour.. ;-) I still think it has a good deal of potential...

i'm not sure if the watercolor-like effect works for this. hmmm

watch the noise reduction on the skin... it makes it look plastic

the processing makes them look like mannequins

bottom left corner of this photo is very interesting, compositionally, to me. The other parts just seem to distract from your main target. Outside of dpc i think your idea for processing works very well

Great concept for the challenge, and a beautiful moment captured, but I think post processing is a little over done. I wonder if this would have worked better simply converted to sepia...?

I think a bit too much processing - the hands look very plastic, particularly the one in the lower right. The idea is very nice, though.

now this is what the challenge means. finally, after a long stretch of forced attempts. this captures it. 8 (the post-processing looks strange to me)

Image is too soft. Soft is probably what you were going for (best guess).

I think the idea is great. There is something special in the photo that you captured. But the processing is ghastly and takes away all the delicate textures and features of the skin. It takes away the humanity of your photo and undoes all your good work. It would be better to have noise than to have plastic skin.

Way to processed for me.

The post processing gives the man's hands a plastic feel, and her thumb is slightly blown out, but the concept is a good one and really goes with the title you chose
