What a great catch! While I love all the textures in this photo, I think the beasties blend in a bit too much. I don't imagine their isolation would be any easier in colour. I'm also distracted by Mr.Upper-Lefthand Corner, because he leads the eye off the image... maybe a tighter crop?

I love this!! I want to press play and watch them in action! I'm a little bit distracted by the split-colour background, but this is still my top pick so far.

I hope they're non-union... ;) While their pose is interesting, and the contrast of her dress to the floor is great, the gobo, in this context, is distracting because his face is partially in a dead spot, and their skin tones are inconsistent and very amber in places. Also, the meta-theatricality of the shot restricts your potential to show the "truth" of the bond between them. (That, and her expression suggests she isn't that into him) It's interesting... I'm glad you've contributed this... it's like a picture of a picture of friendship. It would be cool to juxtapose this shot with one of exactly the same actors in exactly the same pose but in a natural setting.

Great idea... a very interesting take on the challenge, I think! I find the shot a bit too grainy, and blown out in places... but perhaps the idea is that this is from the perspective of not having swallowed these yet!

I think you have captured the relationship beautifully in this shot. I also like the strong key, but would have liked a simpler background, perhaps? Or maybe just that they weren't standing right up against it.

You go first...

I think the silhouette is nice, and the way the two figures are leaning toward each other is lovely, but I would have liked to see them framed perhaps a little further to the side, or something. As they sit now, it seems like you wanted to centre them but didn't quite do it.

I really love this idea, and I like your dof, but I am very distracted by the background.

Lovely idea!

"... you weren't supposed to see that..." :)
He's very nicely highlighted, and the colours are great. I love how the blurred background continues the diagonal.

I like the plane this is on, and the sense it gives that the discarded petals will slip away. I'm undecided about the presentation of the carcass, though
