First of all, in case anyone reads this posthumously and doesn't think it's post humorous, I AM the male model in this shot and that's my gf. :)

Ok, let me take a stab at this.
The colors are awesome. I was struck by this the moment we saw this fountain and I wanted my picture taken in front of this. The background is a great silhouette.
Problems:
1) My hair is sticking up - very noticable in a silhouette. Should've taken the time to wet it and pat it down with the fountain water.
2) The silhouette doesn't feel dark enough. I know you played with this based on the outtakes you sent me later, but I think the darker, artzier ones looked better. The less detail I could see, the more I liked the shot.
3) Our pose doesn't look "romantic" enough for Bob. Well, I would have rather had her in my lap too. :)
Overall, I said it before and I'll say it again. This is THE single best shot of us that exists. It is one of the few "art" shots of us that exists. I am UNBELIEVABLY happy with this shot - you did amazingly well with it.
Thanks again!
Matt
