Gosh, Randy, not only did the title grab me, but the creation is very nice to look at. I wish I were able to do things like this.
One thing I wish more, is that it were a real person...not a statue, altho the colour and what it's made of is very nice. Altho I have to admit, I'm not real sure it's a statue..maybe you two just made it appear that way. Either way, its awesome.V

Oh, yes! I was waiting for something like this. A perfect contest entry. I love how attention is drawn to the well-defined curves of both hands and then with the soft subtle curves in the background making this a sensuous piece ... so full of emotion.
Randy, the composition is outstanding. Rob ... some very sweet post-work ... that tiny bit of glow adds to the image.
A magnificent & artistic collaboration ... Kudo's to you both & best of luck.
Love it!!! Faves! :-))

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Great photo and it reminds me of the Olympics. The original Olympics. There is one gold and one silver metal form. I think you will win first and second with this one Randy and Rob. Excellent collab.

I do not photo shop any of my photos. The odd one may be slightly cropped!!! They are as I have taken them. NO touching up!!!
Reiki anyone? Those are the kinds of curves I always think of because they are the most graceful and the most sensual. Great photo.

In my opinon, this is a ridiculous rating. This piece has such a high artistic value and should be more widely appreciated. It encompasses in an undeniably beautiful way the concept of the contest and the concept of the beauty and simplicity of the human form. I'd hang this on my wall in a second. Thanks for sharing and I sincerely hope this does very well in the contest.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
I began by isolating the figure on the right (in MS Digital Image) and adding color in the Color Balance mode. Then, I saved it, and brought it over to CS2, where I did some work on levels, adjusted it a bit more in Selective color, then added a wee bit of glow to it. Contrast was also ramped up a bit to bring out the hands a bit more. Lastly, I used the Soft Focus tool in Picassa (very lightly) to melt away a little bit of detail in the surrounding figures.
Thanks to Randy for giving me such a fun canvas.
Hope everyone enjoys this.
