Brilliant! I love it. Very cinematic. It really tells about the moment. I feel like I know them well just from the image. Nicely done.

the crop on this is a little to tight for me...

is that the boss?? career is over

I really like your concept here. I find the expressions on both subjects to be very natural and evocative of "Intimacy". I would prefer a tighter crop on the faces and to see the tops pf their heads.

Nice, but a little underexposed.

Nicely done.

I really like this one. You've given us a glimpse of a private and meaningful moment. BTW - it's hard to tell from the limited resolution image, but it looks like the guitar is strung for a right-handed player (conventionally, the thicker strings are on top).

I wish we could see all of their heads... and their faces were as lightly lit as the guitar. As it is, my eye goes right to the guitar and I have to pull it away to try to explore the rest of the image. Good feeling photo... just would benefit with better lighting and composition, I think.

This meets the challenge well. The crop works well though I think this could have used a bit more light on thei faces.

strong sense of capturing an intimate moment. well done. the crop seems a little cramped, though.

I could see this up in my room poster-size, great capture of intimacy. Only improvements I could see would be either more or less motion blur on the hands, no flash reflection on the bottom of the guitar, or a little extra space on the left so that the end of the guitar isn't "kissing" the edge of the frame. One of my favorites.

A little to dark for me but it's a great idea.

harry Chapin, himself! Excellent.

Nice, I liked the moving fingers

A nice moment, but you lost the tops of their heads and the focus is off

Nice sense movement on the hands. Intersting shadow on the wall. Cut off heads always bothers me, but i think that is me, not a rule.

Very rare that you would teach someone to play guitar left-handed.
