Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that contributes to the challenge

Taken at the same time as the Kate entry? I see you have already been helped out with some constructive criticism which I have to agree with. I would also add that the inclusion of the roof space means including the hanging object which is most distracting. This would have made a much better composition cropped just below that hanging object in a square format excluding the dark shadowed foreground. You have a lot of potential left in the lovely couple some careful cropping will, I hope you agree, result in a much stronger image.

I have no doubt this is a lovely couple, but they're so far away I feel disappointed in not getting to know them better.

Lovely setting and well processed, but the couple needs to occupy more of the shot. I'd imagine in a large frame on the wall this works fine but not on a MacBook screen

A constructive criticisms for your image.

1. Why is there so much space in the foreground? That doesn't add anything to your photo. Your subject is obviously the people, but with so much foreground space, they become less of a subject than the building. Crop just under the feet for a stronger image.

2. The sky showing through the windows is unnaturally greyish. Keep it more natural, even if that means it's a bit blown out.
