This photograph speaks to me. I see love. I see rebellion in this model’s eyes. The hair covering the eyes does a great job of saying I don’t need you, leave me alone. Great timing was used in capturing the fullness of the smoke. Even the color of the clothing sets the tone well. My favorite part is the “almost angelic” hand on the shoulder. It is not a grasp. It almost appears as if it is letting go, yet its presence is still there. Unconditional love almost always involves a surrendering of your own hopes and dreams for the other person. Knowing that you cannot change the other person or their circumstance means you are compelled to love even when they are unlovely.

Composition: 5/5

Great composition. The depth of the photo with person needing the unconditional love and then in the background the hand reaching out to give unconditional love hit the spot. I like the balance that you achieved by having the main model lean forward and droop.

Relevance: 5/5

Bravo! This photo gives me an idea of what it means to love unconditionally. Having the hand reaching out from the back to comfort the rebellious guy was a good idea to tie the photo with the requirement of this challenge.

Artistic Expression: 10/10

Fabulous make up, props, and contrast between the darks and the lights. The smoking was a bold move and the dressed look on the model gives a lot of power to the photo but also the anonymous person in the background resounds with anyone.

Focus: 5/5

Sharp and crisp. Right on the dot.

Exposure: 5/5

Great exposure. Thanks to that you have great color and details in the photo.

Of the 4 pictures this fit the relevance of the criteria to a T. The use of colors, faded images and the close up and conveyed attitudes are great. Great artistic expression. The focus and exposure seems just perfect.
