this is nice but really lacks contrast...I love the pose and the smile...but it's quite grey

Ah, what a warm image this is. Well done. The little criticism I can give is about the blown out part of the man's shirt, since that's where my eye is drawn. The woman's right eye, hair, and smile are technically very nice(love that sparkle!), but it's the overall mood that I really like.

Feels like a great candid shot - has a slight OOF fell throughout though

A little overexposed, but it smooths out the skin that way. A good moment captured. B&W works for this too. The title completes the concept and theme. Almost made 9 for me, so 8.75=9.

Tender moment, with good light. I think I'd like to see a bit more of his face, maybe pulled to the left just enough to see his full profile. Overall it feels a bit soft.
