Nice concept but the light is really bad and the color isn't correct. Too much orange throughout. Frankly, I have never put a ring on my wife's finger while she held their hand at her cleavage. Perhaps I am not romantic enough!!

HI Stanley, welcome to the Critique Zone!

It's an interesting take on the challenge. You are, of course, quite right about architecture but unfortunately you can't speak to the voters during voting! Still, it's a very attractive shot so that is what matters.

Technically, I am interested that with an aperture of f22, you still could not get the DOF to get the whole row of piles into focus. This is starting to move into refraction problems territory! I wonder if just capturing the whole of the front one might have been more effective? The lighting is great.

Artistically, it's fun btu it becomes a real personal question as to whether the tilted effect is interesting or unbalancing. I'm not sure.

This is such a personal choice photo that there isn't really much more I can say - I hope that it was of some interest!

Happy hunting,

Frank.
