Description
Power is a strange thing, it permeates every area of our lives. To give power over ourselves to a lover is the the ultimate loving act. To trust, to fear the darkness and be lead to the light, to experience the complete thrill of giving yourself completely to another, and not need to even speak....Related content

Truly lovely. You know, for me it's all in the taut stretch of the submissive's neck. There's that underbelly quality of it, to be truly vulnerable. Love it.

I've discovered your beatiful gallery through a lot os other deviant sites , and specially someone had this shot as a favourite and sincerelly it touched me to the bottom of my heart.
I don't care if both are males, but they express for each other so much love and tenderness that I just fell in love.
Keep the good work

Reminds me a bit of the barriers that the views of society (represented by the tape) put on such types of relationships... This is an absolutely beautiful picture...

absolutely wonderful! when i look at the piece i take the expression as a tender obssesion. but then again this photo can capture a number of other emotions b/c it's that good

Very sensual and very erotic. I feel the anticipation.
I love it. I love how the element of bondage is such a small part of the piece and yet gives the photograph its essence itself. Also loved is the gentle expression on the model on the right's face.
And you've described the shot beautifully too!
Mad props to you!

of course this has more than enough comments already, but i like to comment on all work that i find worthy.
this is an excellent shot - i like the blurred distinction between violence (in the grasp of the head) and love (as the head tilts upwards as if in adoration).
the concept is beautifully expressed in your description and the words truly compliment the shot. it reminds me of something i wrote, 'and i wonder how you understood when i never said a word'. sometimes love can silence us and we no longer need words.
great work. x kate x

It's a great shot and great idea.
I like when I see people dealing with the "forbidden"
This got feelings...
I enjoy also this frozen color. It sounds for me like: we have too keep this feeling for later, now it's unsuitable... forbidden.

What a fabulous shot. Thank you for also taking the time to add such a wonderful description to compliment the piece. There's such a wonderful intimacy of the kiss that's not really a kiss.....
I love the dynamics of a D/s relationship, which is one of the reasons I really like this shot. Submission, as you say is a gift, so to me, the true power is held by the submissive rather than the Dominant

Thanks for the great commetn. I too love the interest value of interplay between dominance and submissiveness. The obvious answer is so often not the true one

very strong, like some have written, it took me a while to get all of it, i had to come back to view it some more.. 
you can't explain it why that is, to have such bond with someone, well one explanation is if you have met your soulmate, anyhow, beautiful work deserves a

I agree that it is very emotional. And I think the unbound one's expression fits for the gift he's given. Some emotion mixed with wonderment.

Wow.
Truly amazing.
So powerful and beautiful at the same time.
There is such emotion to submitting or dominating... when it is done in the best way, imo. I find it all the more moving that the dominant seems in control, yet very aware and caring at the same time.
Another fav. Can't help it. Glorious gallery... I can't say it enough.
I feel lucky to have wondered into your space.

Wow. There are about a million comments here already, but I just have to add one. I don't normally like looking at photography, but this is definately a wonderful picture. The way the hands are arranged, the composition, the color, the intimacy that they have with the viewer, and not to mention the two cute guys.
