during a goth/vampire photo shoot with Single2Noise, JaimieVenias and about 10 other photographers. Fun day with some awesome models.

Not sure how this will go over, but should get people's attention ;-)

Not much post processing, the good lighting people brought goes along way to getting things right in-camera.

Would have touched out some on the moles on the skin had this been advanced editing.

Its funny how many people on this website will down a nudity shot in a non nude challenge yet give the image more views than most in the challenge because of it. Great image. I gave it an 8 and left a comment in voting.

It shocks me that this image finished so low. I certainly had it pegged for a top 10. Excellent shot, David. Too bad you're not awarded points for views... clearly this image drew in a lot of onlookers.

18 1s on this... that is truly insane.

cool; either softer or gloomier lighting may have worked better

Probably to risque for DPC but I love it. I think having the image a darker would have better portrayed vampire love though.

Technically well done, but for me it does convey more (a strange kind of) lust than love.

Hmmm. I like naked women and I appreciate the sexuality of the shot. In fairness, though, I really have to DNMC it because I don't think the whole vampire thing has anything to do with love even if it IS two hot naked chicks. I know some will vote you down because of the sexuality. I don't do that. But I do get strict on what I think meets the challenge.

Not sure a lesbian vampire about to feed translates to "love", but (IMO) the execution here is where I find fault. A lot of mood could have been created if it wasn't just a stark white shot. Red curtain background, or in a darker bedroom setting with creepy candelabras around, or simply directional lighting to create some mood. Or maybe even something not so cliche when it comes to vampires... a dark alley, parking garage, anything! As it is, it looks like some woman with pointy teeth squeezing the boobs of some drunk chic in front of some bright lights. I guess I just expect more atmosphere when I see vampires attacking naked women lol.

Don't get me wrong, I still like the shot. It just looks like every other glamour pic on the web to me and could really have benefited from going the extra mile with a little creative lighting or props. I'm giving it an 8, but only because I had to deduct one point because the vampires hands are in the way.

Don't get me wrong but it doesn't show love at all, more like lust (or being on drugs in a porn movie). Good picture, but a title is a total miss.

great take on the challenge and an excellent setup. I fear the very subject matter may cause it to bomb on here but I do hope not.

Daring and original in a sea of boring formulae entries. I hope this doesn't bomb. 10.

Good Lighting Beautiful models, and good concept

This doesn't convey love, just mere expression of carnal desires. Love it! ;P
