for some reason i really like the shot...i prefer b&w portraits with simple backgrounds, this works. only negative, look at the dead space on the left? perhaps crop in tight on the ladies shoulder and maybe a bit up top.

Like Justin - for some reason this caught my eye and I like it a lot. I agree with the crop Justin suggested and I would also add that it would be nice to have the lighter tone (looks like a chair or something) above her right shoulder removed. Nice shot in any case.

Shawn, this is such a nice feeling shot of these two who are so obviously an integral part of each other's lives. I'm in with a tighter crop so they dont feel so 'pushed down' by the black negative space, but it's wonderful! Well done. Kind regards, MIke

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, and for the (unanimous!) recommendation to crop it a little tighter. I'm just beginning to learn how to take pictures, and composition is something of a mystery to me, but I can see what you mean about the space, and after playing with some different crops, I can see how the tighter crop improves the image.

 

Any comments on the contrast? I normally edit my photos on my laptop, and photos that appear bright and nicely contrasted on that screen tend to be bright and harsh on some other screens. I edited this one on my desktop, which has a very bright, high-contrast LCD, and this image looks really flat on my laptop.

 

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions. I'm learning a lot!
