Nice progression. I like how the outer two are against the sky while the center is against the grass. Really ties the outer two together. Good Luck

These seedpod thingys always fascinate me (they dont grow where i grew up). I love the capture of the third. And that magnificant blue sky deserves a point of it's very own!!

Not sure what it is, but you did a good job of tying all three frames in together. The middle and right frames seem a bit blown out in the white on my monitor though.

Nice pose and framing......wonder how it would look with the b/g out of focus.

Comment by Art Roflmao:
I like the pose and the framing. The background tilt wihtout the subject tilting is a little off-putting to me and the front of her right shoulder is a touch too bright (blown?). A nice shot that could potentially be outstanding with a little postproc. Hope that helps.

(the photog, I'm too old to think things like that about young ladies)
Love her noble expression. I see you made the most of everyone tips.

Score: 6
Works very well in B&W and has good black/white tonal range. The perspective and pose is excellently conceived. You catch the couple in a tender moment looking lovingly forward to the future.

On the technical side the lighting from the left is too bright. The mother's left forearm and top are overexposed. A touch of angled backlighting to provide a boundary to the back of the heads is worth considering.

The hands seem unbalanced and would be better if her right hand were positioned over his hand like they are on the left side.

Artistically, and particulary for a photo challenge, this would be better without the mother wearing the top. But we can certainly understand how a modest couple might think differently. :) The top is not flattering and distracts from the image but part of that is because it is overexposed. Perhaps an opened, button down, monochromatic, short-sleeved blouse pulled back but with strategic, flowing coverage might work better.
