What a beautiful, romantic image. 10 and a fave (but this is such a wonderful challenge that you are sharing those accolades).

I agree. I marked this one quite a bit higher than it got. There's lots of S-Curve here and I think it's a good portrait.

Well duh, now that you say they're feet, they certainly are feet! I guess my suggestion for next time would be a bit more DOF letting the lines of the feet show up just a little. Maybe around the f/3 ballpark. It looks like you were struggling for light though (ISO 1600, 1/60, and f/1.8). I'd probably also suggest a better lit room, heh.

As a portrait, try getting about 10 or 12 feet from the subject and go with a f/8 (or so) setting. That would get most of the facial features in focus. Very important; focus on the eyes. That will make or break your portrait. Also use unsharp mask to sharpen the result. Just wondering how this comment could fail to be considered helpful.

Cause I said so...

Pretty decent photo, but whatever is in the background is really bothering me for some reason. I can't figure out what it is, and my eyes go straight to it every time.
