I don't see much Twilight here. For me, it reminds me strongly of the movie The Cell, which is a huge compliment. There's less of a fantastical element, but it's very evocative and moody. Wow.

It's not for the faint of heart, but definitely worth it in my case.

Oh, thank god this isn't twilight... the color scheme led me that way.

Nice shot, love the angle and the lighting. I love how you've taken the shot. I wish there was more emotion in their faces, but that's not your fault. I bring it up as an FYI, something to remember for future shots.

Color scheme? Ugh, I'd like to think I was being all depressed-like with my low saturation habit way before those posters came out, haha.

And yeah, I suppose there could have been more emotion. But I'm pretty content with the way they look. She's detached, coming to an acceptance that she can't fight him. And he is eerily persuasive, but subtly so..
thanks a lot for your feedback!

The color theme of dominant blacks and soft flesh tones... Twilight book cover.

Oh. oh god. I've gotten that for too many years over this photo [link]
And I'd never seen the cover at that point.

Right away I thought of Phantom of the Opera with the way he is holding her neck. Love it

Before I read the answer I though Phgantom but then decided no because the guy also looks like Lestat... so I was thinking Queen of the damned... or Interview with the Vampire... should have stuck with the first guess... lol... I must say I love this one more so than the other one! It's more realistic for me. Faving!

Twilight as an inspiration? And, forgive me, but your work far eclipses (har har...) any drivel Meyer has, or ever will, come up with. Don't look to her stuff for inspiration because your own mind produces far more beautiful work already.

Aw thank you for that..but the inspiration was actually "Phantom of the Opera" although I had a few friends compare this to Twilight..

Oh, good! Thank Heavens! I wasn't happy about the Twilight comparison, but I do love the Phantom.
