A Portrait of a Happy Couple

Lovely and pleasant couple.

it's not unusual to see a portrait shot with this pose but what makes this portrait exception is the lighting, slightly soft focus and warm colors...certainly you have two people who should also be commended on comfortably posing for the camera ...this portrait "pops" but not in an overly dramatic way, it rises well above the standard and feels very personal...i like the overlay/background...it would take on a better visual poetry if it relates to this man and woman...i might even mask it away from the couples clothes or lower the opacity in that area but you are the artist...regards....David

David, Thanks very much for the compliments! I will definitely take your suggestion and back off the texture on the clothing. Thanks so much for that input which is highly regarded.

Sincerely,

Peter

This is very beautiful Peter and you did such a find job. The texture is a lovely match for this Portrait! I think I agree with David, just masking off some (or lower opacity) on the couple would work out beautifully. You are so experienced in Digital Alterations, I know you had a vision of your own - if you decide to leave it on, it still looks fine. Just my 2 cents :) Gail
