Special thanks to Dana and Brady for letting me take their picture on a freezing cold evening.
"Becoming a Grover"-- This photo has a special history. It is set on Rainbow Bridge which crosses Wolfe Creek on Lower Campus.
Explanations of this tradition vary, but it is generally understood that when a freshman, female student is kissed by an upperclassman male student on Rainbow Bridge, which links Upper and Lower Campuses, she becomes an official Grover. "Grover" is also the generic term for a Grove City College student.

Congratulations on top ten GS. I am pleased this one isn't a silhouette or else the beautiful expressions would have been lost. I like it just as it is.
I like the way the bridge and the railings lead the viewer to the couple. The concept here is clever. Something doesn't feel right. I think it's the lighting. Kind of like you were a little late for the last light of day, or too early to get a good full silhouette. I hope I'm describing my thoughts on this in an understandable manner...if not, I apologize for being long-winded. ;^)
Nice idea, couple, and bridge. Tighter crop would be better, and tree branch intersecting head is unfortunate. Moving the couple and camera angle into clear sky would be better, not centered on bridge would still be fine.
