Conveys a sense of unity, tranquility, and way too many fingers.

    love.

    i love the lighting.. the emotion/commitment, the simplicity, the abstract component.. even the cropping of the image.

    great. intimate. warm. refreshing.

    nice art. I wonder what else this photographer can convey in life. This is exactly how I would want to show aging love. it does not matter what the ppl look like.. u still get the bond.

    Probably not the best portrait shot.. but if ur going a bit creative, u nailed it.

    I hate pictures.. when you notice an aging couple with faked smiles.. it’s just not as attractive as this is… Its timeless.

    There are a few things I would change in this shot.. but I don’t think the person is too much of a pro. the idea is intriguing tho.

    I think they are holding a Magic -8 Ball and asking it a question…
    Q: Will our electricity come back on soon ???
    A: Outlook, not so good

    You can hide the fact you’re an alien for years, but something will always trip you up.

    This picture makes me feel embarrassed. I can’t explain it.

    Are they standing in the glow of the fires of hades???

    Hitchcock’s wedding picture?

    Tell me again how we superglued our hands together?

    his ass does look a little pregnant……but sweet in a mole-equse kind of way!!

    The surgery to separate the conjoined twins was delayed too long and all they could do was PRAY for a miracle.

  13. Jak says:

    My favorite thing, is how clear it is that they are fully clothed.

    Otherwise, it would have been too much awkward…

    I like this photo a lot. It’s a nice background, and for the most part the sillouette is brilliant. And if you look at on the side I can see a fish eating a smaller fish!

    • Bethanee says:

      Yes, art has many facets. Each person will take away something different from it. I take away that these people have more fingers than they should.

      It would have been nice if their fingers hadn’t been so prominent.

  15. MadMolecule says:

    Yeah, I like this one too.

  16. Holly says:

    I’m really liking this one.

  17. Harry says:

    I think you guys are really getting too picky.

    It’s a nice photo. It may be off center as shown here, but it’s not awkward at all.

    • Venetia says:

      Harry, AFP doesn’t go out looking for photos. People send them in. Whoever sent this in, possibly the couple themselves, thought it was awkward.

      If you think AFP is putting up photos that aren’t awkward, that would actually mean that they are not picky enough.

    • tatyana says:

      that’s the beauty and interest of it. if it was centered, it would lose some of it’s interest.

      i personally dislike the lighting on his glasses, but since the pic is a winner, I can surely overlook that. I just am a bit weird when it comes to glasses and lighting… partly because i hate reflections on mine. :)

    Is this a Rorschach Test? What does it mean if I see a butterfly?

    • Faith says:

      It means you are extremely well adjusted, like new beginnings and look forward to the beauty of your future. Nah, I just made that up but it sounded nice. When I squint I see a creepy skill.

      • Bethanee says:

        OK, what is a creepy skill, anyway? Being able to type backwards? Operating a copier with your mind? Returning calls before you get them?

        Just giving you a hard time, Faith.

  19. Faith says:

    A psychiatrist would have a field day with this Rorschach test.

  20. Michelle says:

    Yeah that is a lot of fingers but I am finding my head tilting more and more to the right as it is TRULY awkward to be slightly crooked and off center. :) If not for that – this would be an adorable picture.

    Is it a peacock?

  22. Punk says:

    This is the church, this is the steeple…

  23. Minna says:

    I think this is kind of nice :)

    Aw, they’re both cinched in at the back, her with her dress and him with the bowling shirt.
