Fan Comments

This is really nice. Both men are unclothed, and Spock is embracing a seated Kirk from behind. I love to see them both in a quiet moment like this. Kirk looks as if he is about to kiss Spock’s arm, and the expression on Spock’s face is so full of contentment and devotion. I also liked the fanciful border of leaves and vines, especially the way they seem to fade out on the right side of the picture. Very effective use of light and dark. The wedding ring on Spock’s left hand so eloquently tells its own story of a half Vulcan who has never truly belonged anywhere finding a home and a love to call his own. [1]
