Shelly,

You only want comments on ONE picture? Is that the only good one you got?
I don't know what you expect people to say about one picture. We have no context with which to judge.
OK here goes; nice picture.

Hi Michael,

When I look at this image I see areas for improvement. I could have had her place her left leg a little differently so it wasn't hidden by his and I should have had her other foot placed on the bottom door frame so that her shoe is more visible. I think that I could have done something differently with their hands as they appear a bit "bunched" which gives it a bit of a stiffer appearance. I also think that I should have changed the angle that I shot from or where I had him stand as I am a bit distracted by the building behind his head. And since everyone sees things differently I'm sure theres a bunch more to learn from this photo.

Thanks for taking the time to post! I've had a very hectic week and weekend and have not had time to really look through all of the images closely. I promise next time to post more than one.

It was nice meeting you at lunch last week. :)

Sorry. I am so used to people posting on this forum and in essence asking; what do you think of the body of my work and then they post only one picture.
Honestly I did not see all the things you were looking at: shoes showing more, hands bunched, and her leg position. None of those things bothered me in this image. I mean where is she going to put her leg in that pose. On his leg?
I did notice the building in the background and assumed it had some element important to the story to which I was not privy. I did think there might be something related to them "holding up the building" as they are posed as though they might be doing something symbolical. But I could not comment because I did not get the story of being photographed around a badly built shed.

i like this shot. very good quality. good facial expression which is about 905 of the photo. processing seems clean and very pleasing to the eye. nice contrast.

yeah, maybe her pose could have been slightly better but i dont think your friend is a professional model. but they look happy and sincere. not to mention they both look great. good eye contact, nice attire, adequate setting.

i wouldnt change anything.
