These are really beautiful. The shapes made by the bodies are really interesting, especially with the dark background. I am really drawn toward the way that the four arms kind of meld together to create a line in the top photograph. It is mimicked in the bottom photo with the woman’s leg and the man’s lower legs making a continuous line.

Great work! The top image is particularly strong in its composition. Of the second image however, I am curious about your decision to crop the photo. I am wanting to see the full shape and lines the two bodies are making. There is so much potential motion here- if we saw both bodies in full I think this would make the image more successful.
