Well this is a bummer. Tim this is fantastic, and deserved to score much higher. I think the proximity to the Table Top challenge damaged the "game" aspect.

OK, you're messing with me! I sat hear wondering what's wrong with me. I could have sworn I saw this in color just a few days ago, but now it's BW!

I have a strong preference for BW, and your entries demonstrate why. I find color gets in the way of the emotion of a given scene. Yes, we can see your face with this version, but the lack of color, and play of shadows deepen the photograph. I gave the color a 6. 10 this time. Now go eat a steak sandwich with your buddy!

Lighting, position and perspective made this an excellent capture. The blending of the dark t-shirt and back ground add to the mood of the shot. Well executed.

The lighting on this is superb, and the emotion expressed by the subject is effective. Good Shot.

Subject form....check. Composition....check....The gradation from black to white....priceless.

Hopefully it is not implied that in marriage there will be days of darkness such as this, lol. Nice shot.

A repeat of an image from a previous challenge, the same commentary is useful in comparing the two images. However, the black and white treatment is seemingly more effective, but that may be a personal preference for black and white imagery. Well lighted and strongly emotional type of imagery. One suggestion the author might wish to attempt is to tinker a little with subtle monotone color in the tan or blue range - a very light treatment of either might make this a very effective and powerful image.

lovely light - well captured intimate portrait - it separates itself from the great majority of other portraits in the challenge with a realistic feel
