These are the twins, Marac? You must have done something right, man. I would have never posed like this with my twin brother when we were teenagers. I like this shot a lot!

This is a pretty cool shot. Good color tone. Might be a bit washed out on the right shoulder, and I don't know about the nose shadow on the guy in front, but the expressions you've captured are wonderful.

Something different, you don't see brothers as often as sisters posing together, I like the composition but am a bit distracted by the gray patch on the neck and shoulder of the top model.

I rarely comment anymore, but as I was browsing the thumbnails of this challenge, this image just wowed me. It's awesome...the lighting and the expressions really make you feel a connection not only to the image, but between the subjects themselves. I didn't feel that looking at any other shots. It appears to be a tiny bit soft, and there is a desaturated spot on the top guy's neck and shoulder that are a little distracting when you stare at it, but on the whole, I'd be damned proud to hang this on my wall. Beautiful work. 9 if I could vote! :)

There is just something oddly compelling about this image and I can't quite put my finger on it exactly...I just stopped me in my tracks...for me the image just reeks of machismo yet there is this bond between the subjects...plus it has this almost timeless quality about it, it could have been taken yesterday, 10, 20 or even 30 years or more ago...a very interesting shot.

Excellent portrait, two people in one shot could have been hard but you sure do make it look easy. Great work!

Not really fond of the backround or the post processing here, the glow effect you put on the skin isn´t to my taste and the backround is bugging me, in particular the lower corners that they are darker and seem wrinkled somehow.

The lighting seems just a bit harsh. I like the pose!

Maybe a touch yellow in the skin tones. I might bring up the reds a bit more. I don't think the soft filter fits with the tougher appearance of the guys. Having said that, I like the pose and I like the natural quality of them together. The lighting is a bit harsh in the upper right. Handsome boys for sure. I like their deep eyes and dark hair.
