What I love about this kissing photo is how emotional she
is. Her eyes are lowered, and facial muscles curled up in tenderness,
cherishment as if she can't believe she has him.
He is lowering his check and body to her with gentle
yielding, saying finally I can feel safe. I just love how both of them have
their eyes closed to make it an especially intimate moment with each other
rather than for the camera. I give them a 4 and half.
In this photo above they are so uncomfortable. Having
said that, you see how they are overlapping their bodies, in a way that
communicates they are still a couple. Also note how his back foot is pointed
right at her and her shoulder is leaning down toward him and her pelvis is
angled slightly toward him. My read of her with the "double cross" of
arms and feet, hidden and tight pulled to her far right smile is she is mad at
him on this day but his awe shucks I messed up downward turn smile and hands in
pockets and other cues I mentioned indicate that and that he still loves
her. I give this photo a 2.
