    It looks kind of scary to me. The architecture is very prison like. Other than that, I like the quiet expressions and the soft photoshop work.

    The beautiful light really makes this shot sing. I also like the composition. Placing the mirror in the middle of the frame makes this image very strong graphically. I like the position of the out of focus areas also. Very nice.

    Ambient or off camera light is a must for a shot like this. Direct on camera flash is not capable of creating light that is attractive in this situation. It creates harsh shadow that eliminate the romance of the shot. I'll bet you could shoot this without any flash at all for a better environmental look.

    Nice inventive pose. The interaction between them is also a great quality. My critique would be on the lighting. The light in open shade like this is very flat and dull. The exposure should be brighter, but using an umbrella or some kind of a reflector to add directional lighting to the subject would make this shot much more flattering and attractive. Google Strobist to see primers on techniques that would be useful. As it is, I would definitely white balance for the dress and crank up the exposure until those sun spots glow a bit. This is a nice casual portrait, it just needs a little technical grooming. Keep at it:-)

    Great light. I also really like the shadow on the floor and how they connect visually with the couple. I cant figure out why the image is so soft in the lower left and upper right corners. I like the look, but is it done in photoshop? I have seen the same softness in some of your portraits lately.

    I love the camera angle. I just recently discovered what a great tripod the floor makes! Her gesture is wonderful how she pulls him in. He is clearly at her mercy!

    What is exceptional about this is that it is a candid expression composed beautifully within the environment. It is one thing to compose an environment and another to catch the expression. To do both at the same time is very impressive. I would crop this so that the sofa creates a horizon that goes all the way across the frame. I think the simple geometry is very nice.

    I'll share a secret. There are some other great portraits you can get out of this pose without moving her. Take a look at my portfolio and I have several examples. This is a good shot, but you can get a ring shot and a head and shoulder portrait out of this pose, too.

    Very nice use of flare!! I love that the sun is making the whites glow. I'm glad there are people wh are not afraid of the highlights getting lost for the sake of drama. Are you lighting them with anything or is this all ambient light?
