There is something about this picture that makes me want to just keep on staring at it.
Beautiful portrait

you see some real emotion in her face by the frown she has, a very sophisticated romance!

Ok, you'll have to bear with me.
This piece almost reminds me of a yin-yang (and it's not just the contrasting colours of hair, the difference between the covered body and the nakedness of the other).
The relation between the two seems destructive.
The framing and centring of the models brings direct focus on them. The bright lighting used emphasizes the contrast between his strong manliness and her shadowed body covered in dark clothing (hint at her subjugation or individuality?). It also highlights his power over her through the strained musculature in his arm grabbing her fragile head. In this case, you are portraying a statement concerning the status of power.
If one was to judge the models individually by their body language solely, I would see him as a dominating, controlling character, and her as his quiet prey...
Now comes the other side of it. If one looks closely enough, you'll notice that not only she keeps her chin up, which may be interpreted as a challenge to his address or a desire to be kissed, but moreover, their expressions are... mild. There is no eyebrow frown, nor do their jaws seem tense. It also makes me wonder why their eyes are both painted black. To show the accord between them associated with eye contact? To show they're like tunnels? one tunnel looking through the other? I can see no hostility in their expressions, and this is what fascinates me.
There are two opposing forces playing in there. And the way you've joined them up, it depicts nothing but wild passion at its highest... on what grounds, who knows?
As you can see, it has made my thoughts run wild once again. This is simply an amazing, thought-provoking piece, well deserved of a
Fabulous work, Francois.

I always found your photos a good investment of my time, they make me appreciate the aesthetique side of them, along with the called-forth thought process of the content.

This is beautifully tender, almost an advert for how much more there is to beauty than the obvious. As far as the above comment goes....
She is a little pissed off with him about something and he is ever so slightly arrogant about his righteousness. He is pulling her in for a kiss knowing she won't refuse because [in his mind] he is right [and cute]. The situation is volatile and electric.... the kiss may be x-rated in its passion if she gives in to it but will her anger allow it. The next few seconds .....

There's no truth to be seen in a picture, not just one interpretation. Yours, while different from mine, is very valid. I was serious...

You're on the edge of philosophical debate here, which is fine... but I wasn't being that serious, just admiring a lovely picture

So intensive. Beautiful but also awaking a lot of interrogations... Are they loving or hating each other ? Will they kiss or fight ? Begin a story or leave ? I like such images...
