The way the image looks stretched is disturbing to me.

I mean this in the most positive way I can muster... I really don't like what you've done with it.

- The "HDR" is well overcooked for my liking.

- The Faces of your subjects are not sharp and so lose impact, they also appear to suffer from a little bit of distortion because of your angle maybe?

- They both appear to have their eyes closed? Maybe a touch of fill flash / reflector / different post?

Keep on trying though!!

It is ok for something different in a series of shots maybe, but not something I would want to make a staple of my work. Certainly interesting and makes you take a closer look.

I like it...very grunge, if that is the right word. You are on your way to coolness.

Cheers,
