Wanted your opinions - is this a good picture to use as a christmas card? I really loved the way it came out, I think it looks really good. Do you think it would make a good Christmas card to send to our friends?

We are gay and he is my partner (Soon to be husband!) Don't say anything about it being to insulting to anyone, we were going to do it on the beach in speedo's.

Why are you sorry to hear that we're gay?....

Reynaldo - uhm....I totally didn't understand that, no offence. We're both very monogamous people and we are both very wealthy (well, for 21 year olds) so we don't have to worry about gold digging....thanks for your opinion, lol

I'm really not asking for your opinions on our sexuality or our relationship, that is not the question I asked so don't even f*cking say anything negative about it. If I wanted to know what you think about us being gay that is what I would have asked. I asked if you liked the picture, if you have something negative about gays to say, take it elsewhere. I'm already stressed enough this time of year, so really....spread your negativity somewhere else.

Oh my god Lidy...
I can't believe you took the time to do all that, It looks incredible, I'm so using it....I can't thank you enough. Wow, that is really like the sweetest thing you could have said and done. I'm absolutely in love with it! Thanks for your comments and what you did to the picture, it's amazing. We both appreciate it a lot. *hugs!*

Hi Adam, I love it.
But the artist in me had to fiddle with it.
I took it into photoshop, and heightened contrast and saturation, added a little dodge to your bicep and tanned your inner right arm a bit. Blurred the background to give more depth and added a frame. Also dodged your face a bit, it was a tonally a little flat in the original. Hope you approve, here is the link, just click on it to enlarge it. then if you want it bigger still, hit "all sizes" above the image.

Don't worry about the homophobic neanderthals, they're jealous because you're both young, attractive, successful and in love, they can't stand it. Ignore the idiots. Have a happy Christmas and good luck in your life together.

It's a fine photo. I wish a flash had not been used, but this means it would have been too dark. Perhaps an outdoor one (in a shade) would have been nice too.
I feel that it's a very usable photo for a Christmas card. You two look very happy. Thank you for sharing it and best wishes for your future.

the picture is GREAT..., I am just not sure if I wolud want to show that is has been taken from the bed. Maybe if it were cropped a little, just so the bed wasn't visible, I would think it would be better.
Not that I don't like the picture because I do, but the bed is inappropriate for a Christmas picture.

great image.... I like lidy's alteration of it also, but didn't mind the unaltered image either. It will make a great xmas card. I've already seen some pretty bad ones this year LOL.

I think it is an excellent photo of two very hot young men. You can send me any photos anytime you want. I would like to see the speedo shot to compare before a final decision is made

I took a look at the one Lidybeff 'tweeked'. And since she is one of my contacts and such an excellent artist, I KNEW it would be beautiful, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a lovely picture. And you're a lovely couple. And I want to wish you all the best in your life together. Congratulations. :)

Well, if its going to be a xmas card, I would try to lighten it up a bit, and add some wreathing or something, but other than that, its a nice friendly pic.
Great for X-mas.

Personally I think that a christmas card should be close intimate smiling, not a model audition picutre. You should do something together arm around necks smilning earing like smiling glasses or saying something like seasons greetings from so and so... Hope I helped
