I love this picture but hate it at the same time. Is there something I can to do improve it in PS or am I being too critical and should leave it the way it is? this is sooc.

    I like it! The light looks really interesting to me. The light just kisses their faces a touch and outlines them nicely. I looks like an intimate, and very happy, moment between the two of them.

    clap.gif I think this photograph is beautiful. I like the subtle lighting, the tender moment that you caught. I'm not sure what others will say, but I love this. It would also look great in a black and white.

    It's a great capture, really good feel to it. The only thing I can see that would distract are the colors. I did a BW conversion and recropped to remove them from dead center.

    Just my take, but good shot either way.

    Black and white works, too, but I really love the colors.

    Thanks for the comments so far! I like the off center crop (will definately change that ) and I like the black and white coversion and I will probably do one of each but I do like the colors because that was the reality of the lighting and emotion at the time. I just wasn't sure if there was some other artistic thing to change it.

    I like it pretty much the way it is, crop or not to taste. I thing the clients will be very pleased.

    I like the moment you caught and most of the lighting. The only thing that bothers me about this shot is the the light on her teeth.

    The only think I could suggest as an alternative is an extremely tight crop.
