A little fill flash would brighten up the dark faces.

Great setting but the faces are in shadows. A little bit of fill-flash or a reflector and this would have been perfect.

A little soft, but it has a nice feel. Might have tried moving them around a little bit so the guy had some sun on his face also.

Very sweet photo/pose, really too bad about the sun not cooperating. I wish there was a flash used and/or the two were more faced into the sun to bring out the faces out of the shadows. That would have been perfect. Still very beautiful photo!

Great background, beautiful light and colors. Good composition and moment. Shame about the shadow on the faces, expecially the men. Maybe litle dodging could help.

Warmth and friendly atmosphere here, pity about the guy in the shade, fill in flash would probably have worked here, dof is a tad lacking but it's not so important..7

Two words, FILL FLASH. When you are shooting outdoors and your subject is backlit like these two, you need to throw light back at them. The dark shadows distract from their appearance and make the shot less than what it could be.

you should have used a reflector to lighten the faces of your subjects as they shoud be the main part of your photo. The background looks lovely as it is

watch the shadows on the faces, but pretty!

Lighting on his face could be better (fill-flash or something?) Good shot otherwise. Nice job.

Lovely shot. Background is amazing. Fill flash could've helped a bit here.
