Wow , this is simply amazing. you can feel the passion coming from the two, and the intensity from them. The background gives it the perfect mood too of love/mystery. All in all i can't stop looking , i feel like i get sucked into the picture , so dark and romantic. It also gives me the feel of Twilight meets Romeo and Juliet (even though its almost the same concept LOL oh well) the Gallery and this photo is just amazing. Great Job can't wait to see more of your work in the future also thank you for letting me critique , again great job!

Aptly named Temptation; Like he has gone in for a bite, and paused to resist. It's as if you've captured that one moment of doubt; the thick tension of wanting to feed but feeling sympathy for the victim.

I love the similar line yet different textures of her hair and skirt; the way they both flow in the same direction is marvelous. I think the cool colour scheme aids this.

Her glove on his shoulder tells me that she's playing the victim, but really she wants to bitten, she wants him; her expression is of anticipation rather than fear.

I think what I love most is the tiny frame of his mouth, her neck, and the space between the two. The way his mouth is slightly downturned, I half expect the image to move and for him to bare his teeth and strike.

A great concept, executed with the utmost skill.
