WOW. Wonderful lighting - such a great picture that I'm guessing this is someone who's either won a ribbon or is going to in the next month. What a great shot. 10

Wish the spot was cleaned off the happy face...and I may have swapped this around so happy was towards us, but that's ok. Excellent lighting, great shot. 9

Hot shot...oh damn...what a bad joke. :) Anyways, I do like it. I wish the crop wasn't QUITE so tight on the left side, but that's alright. Nice artificial looking water too. 10

Excellent image - I wish I could see the WHOLE reflection (all the numbers) a bit more clearly, but it's a nit. 9

Great idea for a shot! This is almost as great of an idea as the Dyslexic shot. ;)

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!

The overexposed blue sign takes away from the nice soft lighting in the upper left. I love the misty feel and darkness all around this shot. I do wish I could see more of the top of the building. The colors are nice, though a bit overexposed in some areas and underexposed in other areas. Perhaps this shot needed more attention in post proc, or perhaps it needed a better exposure overall. I appreciate that your cam (the predecessor to mine) isn't the best overall and this is a mighty fine shot. Good score, too!

Keep shooting,
Mav
