captured in shades Practice make perfect

Comments welcome and appreciated

The expression and lighting on the boy's face is very nice. The bright light and inability to see the girls response to the boy, makes 2/3 of the photo composition much weaker than the other 1/3. Nice selection of subject.

Also love the lighting effect, esp. the highlights on the perimeter of his face and full-highlight of her forehead. My first thought -- before reading Therese's comment -- was that the hand blocking the woman's lower face added an element of mystery to the image.
