Usually watching someone kiss is like watching someone eat, but this is pure joy. If you told me I was going to give a blue to a picture of two people kissing, one with facial hair, I would never have believed you.

What a perfect moment and beautifully captured. I can literally feel the warmth of their love filling my soul. Don't forget to give your friends a print!

I normally give my awards out during voting but I ran out of time, my apologies.

I have to say, I'm happy to see that this got the posthumous blue! Such a whimsical shot that oozes happy, warm fuzzy feelings! The lens flare looks like little bits of magic sprinkling down over the couple. Wonderful! :)

This is a silly happy picture that makes me feel happy. Posthumous Blue Ribbon.

Not too fond of your choice of frame here, something about it only being white makes it feel unfinished for me. I like the lens flare, though it is a tad heavy.

Lots of youthful energy energy here. Very well done. Border looks like a snap, which dimenishes the quality of this great image.

Their love showed. Even though he had come down with a terrible case of The Bokeh, a highly contagious affliction, she showed no fear. No revulsion. She leaned in and kissed him with all her feeling. Then, tears in her eyes, she said goodbye as he was taken away to quarantine.

The Bokeh epidemic tore many lives apart that year.

A little bit shallower of a dof would be nice I think, the sky looks great and I kind of like the glare.

It is so nice when the first thought that pops into my head when I see a photo is "wow." 8

Lens flare used VERY well here - the sparkles both echo and highlight their affection.

Oh, this is downright stunning, they must be absolutely thrilled. Very non-DPC-friendly, but this is my equal pick for the blue - 9
