Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation Hue: N/A Brightness and Contrast: Very well done. Focus and depth of field: Focus is excellent. Depth of field may be just a tiny bit shallow. The upper part of the man's right shoulder, his right ear and the hair go a bit soft. Otherwise very nice job of separating the couple from a busy background. I especially like the crispness of her hair against the contrasting background.
I like the pose, the picture tells a story of a happy couple at a special occasion.
I fear there might be a little over processing here. Even though this is a black and white photo, there is something a bit odd. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the skin tones look a little bit wrong. I would think there would be more contrast between the skin and the clothing. The same goes for the hair. It almost reminds me a little of an infra red picture. It's not huge, but just a bit off.
I try to spend some time with each picture I review. I enjoy this much more than voting as I have the luxury of exploring the images more deeply.
Overall I have really enjoyed your image. Congratualtions on a top 25 finish. |

| An excellent photo, right on the money for the challenge. It's a 10 and I'm sure it will end up if not with the Blue then in the top 10 for sure. |

| Great picture! Pay attention to angles in the ambient light, if you would have caught a little more in their eyes, it would have made this picture alot better |
