I like the idea and concept of this shot. Not sure that you could have changed much (controlling the timing) but I think this would be stronger if the couple were more of a silhouette. As it is the photo begs for fill light or go all the way to silhouette.
Some other compositional observations;
1) A more face-to-face shot might have more impact.
2) Moving the couple off-center would be more dynamic.
3) A tighter or farther out framing could improve this by not having all of them, except their feet, in the photo.
4) The POV presented to the viewer could be more unique, i.e. shooting up or down instead of straight on.
I think this setting and your subject material has a lot of potential. Just need to move away from a snapshot type feel to a more artistic approach IMO.
All of the above is JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge. |
