Met these two at a wedding and caught a shot of them. I thought they were a nice and unique looking couple. I probably wouldn't have cropped as tight, but there was a big blown out white spot in the background to the right of him.

Color Saturation Hue: N/A Brightness and Contrast: Very well done. Focus and depth of field: Focus is excellent. Depth of field may be just a tiny bit shallow. The upper part of the man's right shoulder, his right ear and the hair go a bit soft. Otherwise very nice job of separating the couple from a busy background. I especially like the crispness of her hair against the contrasting background.
I like the pose, the picture tells a story of a happy couple at a special occasion.
I fear there might be a little over processing here. Even though this is a black and white photo, there is something a bit odd. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the skin tones look a little bit wrong. I would think there would be more contrast between the skin and the clothing. The same goes for the hair. It almost reminds me a little of an infra red picture. It's not huge, but just a bit off.
I try to spend some time with each picture I review. I enjoy this much more than voting as I have the luxury of exploring the images more deeply.
Overall I have really enjoyed your image. Congratualtions on a top 25 finish.
Hiya! Thanks for your comment! Congrats on your 25th position too! Got a nice ring to it 25th :-D
I really like this portrait - it's got alot of warmth of feeling.
Excellent work here - I love the quite comfort captured in this portrait. The two look so relaxed together, as if they have spent a lifetime together...
Great picture! Pay attention to angles in the ambient light, if you would have caught a little more in their eyes, it would have made this picture alot better
