    They look almost unreal, their poses as well as the light. The blurriness of the near boy is also very tasteful to my eyes. Great image all-around!

    I love what you're doing with your new camera! bowdown.gif

    I agree! The first thing that struck me about the photo is the bright light on the face of the girl, looking directly at the camera, in focus, and the boy's face a little bit in shadows, looking away from the camera, out of focus... it just feels really well put together. Fantastic photo.
    There's a thin line between genius and stupid.
